Wisconsin 79, Iowa 74 - Wisky has a shot at the 1 line, folks. Recognize. As for Iowa, their grip on the top 4 lines is very tenuous and probably gone for now.
Ohio St 64, Minnesota 46 - No harm to Minny for this one, the damage was against Illinois earlier this week.
Indiana 61, Northwestern 56
Kansas 85, Texas 54 - This is the type of statement that gets you a 1 seed in March. Texas has lost its grip on a protected seed for good, it seems.
Oklahoma 86, Kansas St 73 - Is KSU in any trouble? Not yet. But they might want to win a swing game or two just in case.
Oklahoma St 84, Texas Tech 62 - They may still fall out of my bracket.
Baylor 88, West Virginia 75 - Quality road win; we're about done with WVU here; Baylor very viable the closer they are to .500 in the Big 12
Iowa St 71, TCU 60
Duke 66, Syracuse 60 - Duke on the 2 line for now. Syracuse on the 1 line for now. This game changes their margin of errors, not their actual seeds.
North Carolina 105, Wake Forest 72
Clemson 63, Georgia Tech 55 - Every road win matters now.
Virginia 70, Notre Dame 49
NC State 71, Virginia Tech 64
Arizona 88, Colorado 61 - Statement win to help alleviate the 1 seed pressure.
Stanford 83, UCLA 74 - Key home win for Stanford; they're trending safer now.
Washington 86, Oregon St 62 - NIT bubble game, if that's your cup of tea.
Florida 75, Ole Miss 71 - Bye, Ole Miss. Welcome to the #1 overall seed, Florida.
Kentucky 77, LSU 76 (OT) - So close to a signature win that would've saved the at-large profile. As is, they're still too adrift to matter. Kentucky just isn't going to be a protected seed without beating Florida at least once.
Texas A&M 68, Tennessee 65 (OT) - You know, UT, at some point, too many losses are too many losses. Stop losing.
Alabama 80, Missouri 73 - Oh for fuck's sake, SEC.
Arkansas 73, Mississippi St 69 - Road win! Breaking news!
Vanderbilt 67, Auburn 59 - No bubble impact, but want to point out the following teams are on 7-7 in the SEC: A&M, Tenn, Mizzou, Vandy, Arky, LSU, Ole Miss. What a mess.
Georgia 73, South Carolina 56 - No bracket impact, but do you realize they're 3rd in the SEC by 2 games? The NIT might listen to them.
Villanova 57, St John's 54 - Golden chance goes by the boards for the Johnnies. But, this result doesn't hurt them either.
Marquette 96, DePaul 94 (OT) - MU actually in the middle of the 3rd place race in the BEast; they could muck things up for everyone else.
Louisville 58, Cincinnati 57 - Signature road win, and a very critical part of the resume. Louisville's resume holes were problems of quality; and this masks that problem. This win is likely worth 2 seeding lines to me.
Memphis 82, Temple 79 (OT)
St Louis 66, George Washington 59 - StL is a legit 3 seed, right now. GWU? I guess they have to be on the bubble now, but in reality, they're safe.
Dayton 57, Duquesne 54
St Joseph's 87, Fordham 72
Richmond 62, LaSalle 49 - A-10 bubble teams quietly taking care of business.
New Mexico 58, San Diego St 44 - Lockbox!
Colorado St 82, Wyoming 67 - For anyone who thought Wyoming could backdoor into the conversation...no.
Boise St 91, UNLV 90 (OT) - NIT implications.
Wichita St 83, Drake 54
Missouri St 77, Indiana St 66 - Probably endgame for ISU.
San Diego 69, Gonzaga 66 - Get on the bubble where you belong, Zags.
BYU 89, Portland 72
San Francisco 64, Pacific 59
St Mary's 76, Santa Clara 54
Southern Miss 77, UTEP 68 - I suppose it's good for USM, but they're too adrift.
