2/17 recap

Noteworthy:
@Georgetown 79, St John's 57 - G'town creeping towards lockdom; this won't hurt St John's too badly
@Oklahoma 71, Texas 69 - this probably doesn't move the needle greatly for either team; I had OU as a 5 seed trapped on the 6 line because of other teams, and Texas is hanging around the 8/9 line, and this game changes neither
Michigan St 80, @Michigan 67 - a non-trivial result for a team that isn't that far clear of the bubble
@Texas A&M 68, LSU 62 - so I had both teams as last 4 in...this result doesn't change much.  A&M holds serve, and with Georgia falling, might be SEC #3 right now.  LSU is still right there

Catastrophic losses:
South Carolina 64, @Georgia 58 - the SEC, still a mess

Holding serve:
Kentucky 66, @Tennessee 48 - this was probably UT's last chance to launch into the bubble race
@Notre Dame 88, Wake Forest 75
Baylor 54, @Texas Tech 49
@VCU 74, St Louis 54
Wichita St 84, @Southern Illinois 62
San Diego St 63, @New Mexico 46
Wyoming 64, @Nevada 58

Miscellany:
- Stony Brook beats Albany on the road, Albany's finally absorbed an A-East loss and has just about locked the conference into the 16 line
- NIT bubble watch:  Evansville wins over Drake, Alabama wins on the road at Auburn
