2/13 recap

Missouri 86, Arkansas 85 - It seems like Missouri is going to be the team that survives this SEC mess along with Tennessee.  But they need more than this.  Arkansas is still living on the edge.
Wisconsin 78, Minnesota 70 - Minnesota isn't hurt here, except that it erases margin of error in later games
UAB 84, Southern Miss 60 - blown out on the road; possibly fatal blow to the at-large chances
St John's 68, Seton Hall 67 - any road win by any bubble team is significant now
UCLA 92, Colorado 74 - no sin with the road loss
Pacific 89, BYU 82 - guys, we can't seriously put BYU in the tournament.  Right???

Quick-hits:
South Carolina 65, Vanderbilt 59 - Just in case you thought you could slip a Vandy onto the bubble
Michigan St 85, Northwestern 70
Creighton 68, Butler 63
Gonzaga 83, Pepperdine 68
Utah 79, USC 71
St Mary's 69, San Diego 57

Tiny school update:
FGCU loses on the road at ETSU and loses ground on Mercer (DNP tonight).  Robert Morris wins on the road.  Green Bay wins.  MTSU wins and is creeping up the CUSA standings, since UTEP lost at home to FAU (what?).  NDSU wins in the Summit on the road.  Stephen F Austin wins again.  Weber St wins.  Belmont wins, stays 1/2 ahead of Murray St.  Utah Valley loses in the WAC.


Friday:
Arizona at Arizona St - here's a Friday night Pac-12 game, because Pac-12.  Obviously, this would solve a lot of bubble issues for ASU
Louisville/Temple and SMU/Rutgers need to get their games in.  Harvard's in a spot of bother at Columbia, Yale hosts Penn in the Ivy race.  Iona and Canisius play in a pair of hold-serve games in the MAAC (Quinnipiac and Manhattan won tonight to keep the pressure on).
