3/9 recap

Nebraska 77, Wisconsin 68 - well, Wisky might still have a chance at the 1 line, but I can't see a simple path there.  Nebraska...now in my field?!?!?!  sure
Ohio St 69, Michigan St 67 - MSU is going to be tough to seed
Minnesota 81, Penn St 63 - serve held

Maryland 75, Virginia 69 (OT) - well, that's one way to throw away your chance at a 1 seed.  Meanwhile, Maryland isn't close yet - don't get carried away
Syracuse 74, Florida St 58 - important stabilization for Syracuse; FSU probably needs to make it to Sunday in the ACCT to have a chance
NC State 78, Boston College 68

St Louis 64, UMass 62 - signature road win for St Louis, and important stabilization.  UMass is going to be a tough seeding call - I think you could justify anywhere from a 6 seed to a 10
LaSalle 71, St Joseph's 63 - noooooooooooo St Joe's what are you doing?  They took a near-lock situation and turned it into a bubble situation.  Their spot is in play again
