2/12 recap

Penn St 66, Indiana 65 - what an awful, awful home loss
Nebraska 67, Illinois 58 - NIT bubble game!

Syracuse 58, Pittsburgh 56 - Pitt is very quickly running out of time to build a resume.  You can argue the eye test saves them in this game, although to be frank, the eye test of this game just cancels out the eye test from their previous two games

Washington 64, Stanford 60 - not a spot you want to use a mulligan at, Stanford.  Still in for now
California 80, Washington St 76 (OT) - meanwhile, this bad loss is avoided properly

Texas Tech 68, Oklahoma 60 - there's no room in the Big 12 to drop home games like this, OU
Baylor 91, TCU 58 - well, a road blowout, so good

Villanova 87, DePaul 62

UConn 83, USF 40
Memphis 76, UCF 70

Kentucky 64, Auburn 56
Texas A&M 83, LSU 73 - Jesus, SEC.  Can your bubble teams do ANYTHING right.  No choice but to yank them out of the field now
Georgia 75, Mississippi St 55 - my God, Georgia is 7-4 in the SEC.  My God. 

VCU 92, G. Washington 75 - about ready to send VCU to the lockbox
George Mason 91, UMass 80 - the hell, UMass?  at home?  This is the one that starts causing you to lose seeding lines by the bunches.  Stop it
Richmond 75, Duquesne 58
Dayton 76, Rhode Island 69

Boise St 71, New Mexico 70 - not the worst loss ever, as long as it isn't a habit.  Don't get swept by SDSU

Toledo 82, Ohio 76 - still breathing

Indiana St 68, Bradley 62 - still breathing

Coastal Carolina 83, VMI 78 - CCU leads the Big South, for the none of you that care
Boston, Iona, Delaware, Vermont among the winners, holding serve in their conferences


Thursday:
Arkansas at Missouri - ok, Arkansas, get THIS roadie and we'll talk.  Mizzou, just make life easier for us all and win
Minnesota at Wisconsin - Minny might be uncomfortably close to the bubble.  For Wisky, the chase for a protected seed is on again
Colorado at UCLA - this road win would solve a lot of profile issues

Beyond this, we have Hold Serve Theater, featuring:  Northwestern at Michigan St, Creighton at Butler, Louisville at Temple, SMU at Rutgers,  Southern Miss at UAB, St John's at Seton Hall, Pepperdine at Gonzaga, BYU at Pacific, among others.
