SEATTLE - Top-ranked Stanford lost for the first time this season, falling 75-62 to unranked Washington on Saturday.
Tre Simmons scored 16 to help Washington end the Cardinal's effort to complete the first 18-0 season in Pac-10 history. On Thursday night, the Cardinal rallied to beat Washington State on a last-second shot.
Stanford (26-1, 17-1) shot only 39 percent, had 18 turnovers and was in foul trouble for most of the game that ended with Huskies fans storming the floor and dancing in jubilation.
"We were one game away from something pretty special, and we didn't get it done," coach Mike Montgomery said. "It will take a while to get over that."
The loss left Saint Joseph's (27-0) as the only undefeated team. The Hawks are attempting to become the first to enter the NCAA Tournament unbeaten since UNLV in 1991.
Washington (17-10, 12-6) won for the 12th time in its past 13 conference games. It was only the second time ever that the Huskies have beaten a top-ranked team.
Nate Robinson added 13 points for the Huskies.
Stanford's Josh Childress and Matt Lottich were in foul trouble much of the game, with Lottich fouling out with a minute left.
Childress had 15 points, and Lottich, the star against Washington State, had just two on 1-of-11 shooting.
Stanford's 26-game winning streak was the longest in the Pac-10 since Oregon State won 26 straight in 1980-81. No team has won all 18 since the league expanded its schedule in 1979.
NO. 3 DUKE 70, NO. 14 UNC 65: Freshman Luol Deng scored 25 and senior Chris Duhon had an extraordinary defensive effort on Rashad McCants in the second half to lead the host Blue Devils.
Duke's win was the 14th in 16 against North Carolina, including an 83-81 overtime victory Feb. 5 in Chapel Hill.
McCants had 20 points for the Tar Heels, but he got 16 in the opening 22 minutes and the rest in the final 1:37. In between he was covered by Duhon, whose layup with 6.1 seconds left was the winner in the first meeting.
Deng bounced back from his worst effort of the season, when he went 1-of-14 from the field against Georgia Tech. He was 12-for-16 against the Tar Heels, scoring mostly inside.
NO. 5 MISS. ST. 82, ALA. 81 (OT): Timmy Bowers had two last-second shots. The second gave the visiting Bulldogs their first outright SEC title in 41 years.
Bowers hit a layup in traffic with a second left in overtime to complete a big rally, and he made a last-second shot over Earnest Shelton from the free-throw line with 1.2 seconds left in regulation.
Mississippi State (25-2, 14-2) set school regular-season records for overall and league wins. Alabama had won the first meeting (77-73) a few weeks ago to start a four-game winning streak that likely will catapult the Tide into the NCAA Tournament.
NO. 6 PITT 59, VILLANOVA 45: Chris Taft led the host Panthers with 16 points and 11 rebounds to wrap up the top seed in the Big East tournament.
Chevon Troutman had 17 points and Carl Krauser added 11 for the Panthers (27-3), who finished 13-3 in the Big East for the third straight season. Connecticut can tie Pittsburgh for the regular-season title by beating Syracuse today, but the Panthers own the tiebreaker.
Allen Ray scored 24 for Villanova, which led 17-3 midway through the first half only to be held to 28 points the rest of the game.
NO. 8 OKLA. ST. 70, TEXAS A&M 41: John Lucas scored 20 and Joey Graham had 14, helping Oklahoma State claim the Big 12 title, its first outright since 1964-65 in the former Big Eight. The Cowboys (24-3, 14-2) also set a school record for conference wins and finished 15-0 at home. The Aggies became only the second team in the eight-year history of the Big 12 to go winless in league play. Baylor did it in 1999.
KANSAS ST. 58, NO. 10 TEXAS 48: Tim Ellis hit six free throws in the final 52 seconds and the host Wildcats, despite setting an arena record for fewest points in a half, stunned the Longhorns. The victory was just the fifth against ranked teams in 27 tries for Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge. Kansas State (14-13, 6-10) missed 22 of its first 26 shots while scoring only 17 points in the first half.
NO. 16 N.C. ST. 81, NO. 11 WAKE FOREST 70: Engin Atsur had 17 points and made a career-high five 3-pointers to help visiting North Carolina State lock up second in the ACC.
BC 63, NO. 12 PROVIDENCE 54: Jared Dudley had 15 points and eight rebounds for visiting Boston College, which held the Friars to a season-low 15 first-half points.
NO. 13 CINCINNATI 83, NO. 20 MEMPHIS 79: Tony Bobbitt hit a 3-pointer with 36 seconds left, then made a pair of free throws for the host Bearcats. Sean Banks scored 28, one shy of a career high, in a back-and-forth game that featured eight ties and 21 lead changes. Guard Antonio Burks had 16 points on 6-of-16 shooting.
NO. 15 S. ILL. 93, EVANSVILLE 67: Darren Brooks gave Southern Illinois a fast start with eight points in the first 31/2 minutes and finished with 18 in the Missouri Valley quarterfinal in St. Louis. The Salukis (25-3) have the top seed in the tournament for the third straight year but are seeking their first conference tournament championship in nine seasons.
NO. 17 WISCONSIN 70, IU 52: Devin Harris got the visiting Badgers started with 16 points in the first 13 minutes and then the stifling defense did the rest. Harris finished with 26 points, and Indiana had another bad shooting day, making 35 percent from the field.
MARQUETTE 81, NO. 25 LOUISVILLE 80: Freshman Dameon Mason's three-point play with eight-tenths of a second left lifted the host the Golden Eagles. Mason caught the inbounds pass from Scott Merritt on the left wing and swished a jumper as he was being hammered by Alhaji Mohammed, tying it at 80. The Eagles also ended a 16-game winning streak by Louisville on Jan. 31 with a 77-70 victory. Mason finished with 14 points, and Steve Novak led the Golden Eagles with 20 points. Francisco Garcia had 23 for Louisville.
