1/18 recap

Signature win of the day:
Indiana 80, @Illinois 74 - road wins over other probable bubble teams are pure gold for bubble teams

Catastrophic loss of the day:
@DePaul 71, St John's 67 (OT) - DePaul at 4-2 in the Big East is screwing everything up for the entire league.  The longer they stay ahead of bubble teams in the standings, the more (exponential) harm they do to the entire conference

Holding serve:
@Northern Iowa 60, Missouri St 46
@North Carolina 68, Virginia Tech 53
@Washington 85, Oregon 77

Miscellany:
Boise St 69, @New Mexico 59 - neither team is in great shape, but after this road win, BSU can at least hope a bit
@Southern Illinois 59, Loyola(Chi) 52 - yeah, that should be the end of any Loyola hope

St Francis(NY) beats St Francis(PA) on the road, assumes the NEC lead.  Iona loses on the road to Canisius, and everyone's got 2 losses in the conference already.  The MAAC is going to get a much lower seed this year than they're accustomed to
