Default A few hours around 32F can they take it?

I haven't dug up my bananas yet, felt it was way too early but tonight there is a frost/freeze warning in Dallas. Metro to stay at 36 but could go down to 32 in the outlying areas (I live in a suburb so it applies to me) .
It should only last a few hours at the most, hopefully less.
The only thing I had time to do tonight was to wrap the p-stem (main part not the top due to all the leaves with good frost cloth.
(By lunch they promise we will be back around 60F)

Will they be able to survive it? I have:
Dwarf Orinico
IceCream (at least that is what the labels said)
Saba
Mona Lisa FH03 (under frost cloth since it is small enough to dig up completely later on.
I will dig up most of them before the next freeze but this one came as a surprise so I am curious do you think they will make it and which ones are the most likely to make it?

Here's hoping they will make it but I am very interested in any thoughts you have!

Thanks
