2/15 recap

Baylor 87, Kansas St 73 (2OT) - we still have to pay attention to Baylor, sigh
Oklahoma 77, Oklahoma St 74 - quality road win, and now OSU officially in big trouble
Texas 88, West Virginia 71
Iowa St 70, Texas Tech 64
Kansas 95, TCU 65

Iowa 82, Penn St 70
Purdue 82, Indiana 64 - Indiana was dead after the PSU loss; this is the equivalent of putting a bullet through its head to make sure it stays dead
Ohio St 48, Illinois 39 - lol 39 points

California 72, Washington 59 - hey, a road win
Stanford 69, Washington St 56 - road win
UCLA 80, Utah 66

Syracuse 56, NC State 55 - well that almost got interesting
Duke 69, Maryland 67 - Maryland's last stand fails
Virginia 63, Clemson 58 - road win, reasonable resume bump
North Carolina 75, Pittsburgh 71 - Pitt's on the bubble, and look at the remaining schedule - they're suddenly out of quality win chances
Florida St 67, Wake Forest 60 - FSU still breathing

Marquette 81, Xavier 72 - yikes.  it's a road loss, but still
Providence 84, DePaul 61

Florida 69, Kentucky 59 - UK's not going to like their seed next month
Missouri 75, Tennessee 70 - this result just stacks everyone up on the bubble even more
Vanderbilt 57, Texas A&M 54 (OT)
Georgia 61, Ole Miss 60 - Georgia's 3rd in the conference.  ok then
Arkansas 81, LSU 70 - I think the SEC got the worst result in 3 bubble games.  Mizzou weakens Tennessee; Georgia daggers Ole Miss, Arkansas daggers LSU

UConn 86, Memphis 81 (OT) - UConn up a seed line?  Memphis static?  seems like a reasonable reaction
Cincinnati 73, Houston 62

St Louis 64, VCU 62 - well, they finally have the quality win
UMass 67, George Washington 61 - quality road wins fixes a lot of issues for UMass.  GWU loses twice to VCU and UMass; they could've been in the lockbox; as is they'll spend some time on the bubble now
St Joseph's 75, LaSalle 64 - road win, and we'll have to continue to discuss them
Richmond 82, Fordham 70

San Diego St 64, Air Force 56
New Mexico 90, Nevada 72
UNLV 73, Utah St 62 - you might see UNLV creep up on the bubble.  resist the urge
Wyoming 46, San Jose St 38

BYU 60, St Mary's 57 - BYU still breathing
Gonzaga 86, Loyola Marymount 67

Indiana St 60, Southern Illinois 57

Eastern Michigan 65, Toledo 44 - probably a fatal blow for Toledo; Ohio won to move 1 GB, Akron and WMU also on 9-3 in the MAC, no separation, no at-large bid

MTSU 81, Southern Miss 64 - USM is T4 in CUSA, so this one is about done, folks.  MTSU co-leads the conference, hey now
Louisiana Tech 85, Rice 46
UTEP 84, FIU 71


small school quick-hits:
Stephen F Austin 67, Sam Houston St 60 - 13-0 in the Southland, and this was supposed to be the trouble spot for SFA
Troy 85, Georgia St 81 - first Sun Belt loss
American loses, falls one game behind Boston in the Patriot
Davidson wins, 11-1 in the SoCon
Vermont wins, 11-1 in the A-East
Robert Morris wins, 11-1 in the NEC
Green Bay wins, 11-2 in the Horizon
North Dakota St wins, 9-2 in the Summit
Southern loses, still 2-up in the SWAC
Yale and Harvard win to go joint 7-1 in the Ivy
NC Central wins, 10-1 in the MEAC
Murray St and Belmont now on joint 11-2 in the OVC
Utah Valley wins, 9-2 in the WAC
UC Irvine wins, 8-2 in the Big West
I'm refusing to recap the Big South out of general principle

Wisconsin at Michigan - protected seeding implications

Georgetown at St John's - HUGE bubble game
and in hold-serve theater:
SMU at Temple
Oregon St at Oregon
Wichita St at Evansville
Nebraska at Michigan St
Rutgers at Louisville
