2/21 recap

ACC:
@North Carolina 89, Georgia Tech 60
Pittsburgh 65, @Syracuse 61 - all of a sudden, a signature road win and Pitt has some bubble momentum
@Louisville 55, Miami 53 - blown chance for Miami, and UL is starting to cut things very close just to keep a protected seed in March
Notre Dame 87, @Boston College 70
@Duke 78, Clemson 56
@North Carolina St 69, Virginia Tech 53 - every hold of service matters right now for their resume, moreso than usual even

Big 12:
Oklahoma 79, @Texas Tech 75 (OT)
@Baylor 69, Kansas St 42
Iowa St 85, @Texas 77 - time for Texas to worry; at some point, they need to beat these teams in their loaded schedule
West Virginia 73, @Oklahoma St 63 - just when WVU was backsliding, an important road win; OSU seems like they're destined to be the #6 Big 12 team and is probably trapped somewhere on the 7-9 lines
@Kansas 81, TCU 72

B1G:
@Wisconsin 63, Minnesota 53
@Northwestern 60, Penn St 39

Pac-12:
@Stanford 72, California 61
@Arizona 57, UCLA 47 - chance goes by the boards for UCLA
@Oregon St 72, Colorado 58

Big East:
@St John's 85, Seton Hall 72 - and SHU is dead and gone
@Xavier 73, Butler 56 - well, that was a productive week for Xavier, and Butler/G'town/Provi is an interesting 3-way battle, with pretty big seeding implications
Villanova 87, @Marquette 76
@Georgetown 68, DePaul 63

SEC:
Texas A&M 62, @South Carolina 52 - road wins are not trivial this time of year
@LSU 70, Florida 63
@Vanderbilt 76, Missouri 53
Arkansas 65, @Mississippi St 61
@Kentucky 110, Auburn 75
@Ole Miss 59, Tennessee 57
Georgia 66, @Alabama 65 (OT) - every road win matters

A-10:
@VCU 78, UMass 72
@Duquesne 83, Dayton 73 - well, that's the first bad one by Dayton, so that's the mulligan
Rhode Island 71, @George Mason 56
@Richmond 56, George Washington 48 - well, that's the end of G-Dub, I think
@Davidson 76, Fordham 57 - a solvent day in the A-10.  UMass and GW are by the boards, and it's URI and Davidson charging
St Bonaventure 70, @St Joseph's 60 (OT)

AAC:
Cincinnati 63, @Houston 53

MVC:
@Indiana St 78, Southern Illinois 58
@Northern Iowa 56, Bradley 39
@Illinois St 67, Loyola(Chi) 60

MW:
@Boise St 78, Nevada 46
@Colorado St 66, Air Force 53
UNLV 76, @New Mexico 68
@Utah St 85, Fresno St 79
San Diego St 74, @San Jose St 56

WCC:
Gonzaga 70, @St Mary's 60

CUSA:
@Old Dominion 72, Louisiana Tech 53 - well, ODU is still breathing, and threw the CUSA race into chaos while they were at it.  UTEP and UAB both win, UTEP is 1/2 game back, UAB is 1 back.  WKU is 1 back in the loss column as well

Miscellany:
- In the MAAC, Rider loses, which all but gives Iona the regular season crown there
- A full day in the MAC, the leads belong to Kent St in the east and Toledo/CMU in the west, all on 10-4  Bowling Green lost to Buffalo at home to drop 1 back of them
- Murray St's still perfect in the OVC
- Right now, the CAA race is now Northeastern and UNC-W on 11-5; W&M and JMU on 10-5
- In the Sun Belt, Louisiana Monroe loses a bad one on the road to Arkansas St, so there's a 3-way tie at 12-4 with Georgia St and Georgia Southern now.  4 to play for everyone
- The 7-team Big South race has whittled down to 5.  High Point and Charleston Southern on 12-4, Coastal Carolina, Radford, and Winthrop on 11-5
- I believe St Francis(NY) is the first to clinch a conference (NEC), or tied with Murray St for it
- All of a sudden, the Big Sky is a 4 team race?  Northern Arizona beat Eastern Washington.  Right now, Sacramento St and Montana tied at 12-3, EWU 1/2 game back, and NAU 1.5 back.  There's still time for all 4 teams to contend here
- NCCU's still perfect in the MEAC
- Wofford won again in the SoCon
- Ivy:  Yale lost at home to Columbia (yikes), so Harvard has a 1 game lead
- Stephen F Austin wins to barely stay in the bubble picture, but bigger problem:  Sam Houston St is winning too and still leads the Southland
- Valpo still leads the Horizon, but can we all slow down with thinking this is a world-beater team?
- New Mexico St has predictably ended the WAC race
