2/10 recap

West Virginia 102, Iowa St 77 - Well, I guess we have to pay attention to WVU the next month, if only by sheer force.  Long way to go to get to the cutline.  Meanwhile, more pressing concern for ISU - 3 seeds usually win these
Kansas St 85, Kansas 82 (OT) - KSU solidifies their bubble situation.  Let's talk Kansas for a bit.  At some point, you have to stop losing to justify the 1 or 2 line.  Their margin of error is almost gone.  I know they have a historically strong SoS, but I don't think showing the committee a 23-9 record is going to work.  At least for the 1 line, and probably the 2 line.  I really don't know what to do with them.

Miami 77, Florida St 73 - FSU home loss, officially miles and miles away from the bubble.  Discard
Virginia 61, Maryland 53 - standard result

Georgetown 83, Providence 71 - Move G'town ahead of Provi on your S-Curves accordingly

quick hits...Southern and North Carolina Central win to stay ahead in the SWAC/MEAC....Towson absorbs a bad road loss to UNC-W and Delaware has the CAA on lockdown...WKU surrenders a road game at Arkansas St, and Georgia St is now 3 up in the Sun Belt


Tuesday:
Florida at Tennessee - Florida's charge to legitimizing a 1 seed begins here
Oklahoma St at Texas - say hi to the bubble, OSU
Wake Forest at NC State, Clemson at Notre Dame - desperate ACC teams in desperate situations
Marquette at Seton Hall - we'll allow the winner to be projected into the NIT
Southern Illinois at Wichita St - every possible loss left on the board for WSU would be catastrophic
Michigan at Ohio St - useful for helping solve the B1G knot in the middle of my S-curve
Xavier at Butler - must get this on the road to remain a lock
Ole Miss at Alabama - must get this on the road to prove you're a tourney team
San Diego St at Wyoming - one of the only spots of bother left, besides a pair with New Mexico
