3/6 recap

Villanova 77, Xavier 70 - we've gotta talk about Villanova and the 1 line again.  Xavier is static on the bubble
Cincinnati 97, Memphis 84 - might move Cincy back to the 3 line, no harm no foul for Memphis
Michigan St 86, Iowa 76 - this'll stabilize MSU a bit
UCLA 91, Washington 82
VCU 56, Richmond 50 - Richmond is done

LSU 57, Vanderbilt 51

Louisiana Tech 70, Rice 48
Middle Tennessee 55, UAB 53
Tulsa 79, North Texas 68
Southern Miss 68, Tulane 51 - quad champions in CUSA.  LaTech gets the NIT bid, I think

UC Irvine and UCSB win, Irvine lead is 1 with 1 to play

Friday:
Mostly a day for getting some conference tournaments going.  Wichita's in play against Evansville.  OVC semifinals.  etc etc
Harvard at Yale - Harvard can lock down a bid, Yale can force Saturday to matter
Western Michigan on the road at Central Michigan (Toledo plays on the weekend)
