Catastrophic loss of the day:
Texas Southern 71, @Michigan St 64 (OT) - that's the type of loss that's worth 2 seeding lines in March
Important must-wins that were won:
VCU 68, @Cincinnati 47 - a desperately needed signature road win for VCU, and a critical blow to the AAC and Cincy. This is a tipping point for the entire conference
SMU 62, @Michigan 51 - a critical road win for SMU, even if it's over a middling opponent. Michigan is pretty much done
@Providence 85, UMass 65 - probably the end of UMass' chances and a good hold of service for Provi
Illinois 62, Missouri 59 - UI staying in the bubble picture
Indiana 82, Butler 73 - Butler might be sliding back to the bubble where they belong. But a critical win for IU
Northern Iowa 56, Iowa 44 - critical neutral site win
Jockeying for seeding:
North Carolina 82, Ohio St 74
@Villanova 82, Syracuse 77 (OT) - no real sin for SU to lose this; their issues were earlier in the year
Kentucky 83, UCLA 44
Washington 69, Oklahoma 67
Utah 59, @UNLV 46
Quick hitters:
Louisville 76, @Wstern Kentucky 67
@Georgetown 81, Charlotte 78
@Georgia Tech 65, Vanderbilt 60
Albany 64, @Yale 60 - yeah, that was fun while it lasted, Yale
USC Upstate 53, Mississippi St 51 - Upstate's gotten GaTech and MSU now
Florida 63, Wake Forest 50
High Point 80, @James Madison 71
Notre Dame 94, Purdue 63
@Auburn 89, Xavier 88 (2OT) - not a good loss for X
