1/29 recap

Signature wins:
@Ohio St 80, Maryland 56 - OSU has fixed their profile issues and should be fine.  Maryland?  Tricky seeding them.  They're losing their grip on a protected seed
@Cincinnati 70, UConn 58 - significant result, so I have to put it under this column, I guess.  UConn is about out of time, Cincy is getting closer to safety
@UCLA 69, Utah 59 - kind of detrimental to Utah's hopes, but such an important get for UCLA.  Not quite dead yet

Catastrophic losses:
@UMass 66, Dayton 64 - Dayton doesn't have THAT much room between themselves and the bubble, you know.  This loss is fine; it just takes one mulligan off the board

Holding serve:
@Providence 83, DePaul 72
Michigan St 71, @Rutgers 71
@Old Dominion 71, Florida International 56 - analogy time!  This is like if you're playing a video game, and you're trying to level up, but you're only beating the easiest opponents in the game, getting little EXP.  This is ODU right now, having to fight back on the bubble and only having access to marginal wins
@Kentucky 69, Missouri 53
@Gonzaga 64, Portland 46
Colorado 98, @USC 94 (3OT)
@St Mary's 69, Loyola Marymount 54
@BYU 78, San Francisco 74
California 76, @Washington St 67

Miscellany:
- Wofford's now got the SoCon lead at 8-1, as Chattanooga loses at Mercer.  Wofford has a profile that's worth putting it on the at-large board for, you know
- High Point goes to 8-2 in the Big South staying one step ahead of literally the entire conference
- I talked about ODU above.  As for the rest of CUSA, LaTech beats WKU at home, so they are now joint 7-1 in the conference.  UAB lost at UTEP to go one game off the pace, and MTSU lost too
- Tri-leaders on 5-1 in the Big West:  LBSU, Irvine, Davis.  LBSU and Irvine - the leaders we thought we'd have are coming to the front
