12/31 recap

Big East:
Xavier 70, St John's 60 - early bubble stakes, advantage X
Seton Hall 81, Providence 80 (OT) - not the type of home game you want to surrender to the resume, Provi
Georgetown 61, DePaul 54
Villanova 76, Butler 73 (OT) - no real harm to Butler, but they will need to convert a big chance somewhere
Creighton 67, Marquette 49

American:
Louisville 90, UCF 65
Memphis 88, USF 73
Houston 75, UConn 71 - and one of the Big 3 got nipped on the road tonight

B1G:
Ohio St 78, Purdue 69 - road win
Illinois 83, Indiana 80 (OT) - Indiana is officially the team who should panic right now
Michigan St 79, Penn St 63
Iowa 67, Nebraska 57 - and with that, no funny business in the B1G today

Non-con:
Princeton 73, Kent St 68 - I guess we're going to be talking about Princeton being on the fringe of the bubble talk for the next 2 months
Maryland 70, NC Central 56
Syracuse 70, Eastern Michigan 48
Kansas St 72, George Washington 55 - litmus test failed for G-Dub.  K-State trying to claw back to the bubble; they'll have their chances



Wednesday preview:
Most of the country is off, but we get underway in the Mountain West and Missouri Valley.  Also a lingering American game, SMU at Cincy, with immediate bracket impact.  Also, we'll know more about Colorado St (home to SDSU) and UNLV (road at Fresno).  Harvard faces a must win at home against BC.
