2/19 recap

Kansas St 65, TCU 53

Illinois 62, Minnesota 49 - I'm sorry, but that's a terrible home loss, Minny.  in trouble now
Ohio St 76, Northwestern 60

Colorado 61, Arizona St 52 - both teams are fine, really
UCLA 86, California 66 - big road win, UCLA is just about locked in.  Cal just needs bad loss avoidance at this stage
Arizona 67, Utah 63 (OT)
Oregon 78, Washington 71

Boston College 62, Syracuse 59 (OT) - well, that's one way to lose your first game of the season - in a horribly catastrophic loss that would destroy anyone's resume

Florida 71, Auburn 66 - this almost didn't end well

Creighton 85, Marquette 70 - that's probably it for Marquette's courtesy look at the bubble
Xavier 83, DePaul 64

Cincinnati 77, UCF 49 - a blowout road win on a night like this is noteworthy
SMU 68, Houston 64

LSU 92, Mississippi St 81
Missouri 67, Vanderbilt 64
Arkansas 71, South Carolina 64 - you're not gonna believe this, but the SEC bubble teams behaved for one night

St Louis 89, George Mason 85 (OT)
St Joseph's 57, Rhode Island 54 - every road win is a big win
Dayton 65, LaSalle 53

New Mexico 68, UNLV 56 - road win, the end of UNLV's fleeting hopes, and probably the intro of New Mexico to lockboxdom

Wichita St 88, Loyola 74
Indiana St 59, Evansville 54

small-school stuff:
Boston 71, American 62
Big South standings:  9-4 Coastal Carolina, 9-4 VMI, 9-4 High point, 4 teams on 8-5, what a mess
Western Michigan beats Ohio on the road, on 10-3 in the MAC
most of the other leaders held serve around the country


Thursday: 
Penn St at Nebraska - ok, Nebraska, prove you belong here in these recaps the next month
Duke at North Carolina
Georgetown at Seton Hall - mandatory for G'town
Gonzaga at BYU - mandatory for both
St Mary's at San Francisco - hey, NIT implications
lots of small school stuff as well, plus a few teams in hold-serve games
