2/10 recap

Signature wins:
@Temple 75, Cincinnati 59 - Cincy isn't in trouble...yet...but a big get for Temple

Catastrophic losses:
Georgetown 86, @Seton Hall 67 - first, G'town stabilizes and is plenty fine.  But now SHU is in legitimate trouble.  Turns out there weren't enough wins to go around in the conference after all

Holding serve:
Kentucky 71, @LSU 69 - by the way, golden chance for LSU to fix all its bubble problems goes by the board
Notre Dame 60, @Clemson 58 - it's important to beat great teams, but road holds like this are even more important to ND's seed right now
Michigan St 68, @Northwestern 44
Wisconsin 65, @Nebraska 55
Kansas 73, @Texas Tech 51
Arkansas 101, @Auburn 87 - hey, look at all these teams holding serve on the road tonight!  Impressive
Xavier 64, @Marquette 44 - very important hold
Alabama 55, @Mississippi St 51
Dayton 51, @St Louis 44 - very important hold
@Colorado St 70, New Mexico 59

Miscellany:
@East Carolina 64, Memphis 53 - NIT bubble impact
@South Carolina 65, Missouri 60
@UNLV 73, Fresno St 61
- Over in the MAC:  Akron beats Kent St at home, Toledo wins on the road at Buffalo, Bowling Green wins.  This means in the East, Akron and BGU are tied, Kent is 1 back, and Buffalo is 2 back.  Over in the west Toledo leads alone
- Albany wins again, goes to 12-0 in A-East
- Iona wins on the road, maintains a healthy MAAC lead
