2/22 recap

Signature wins:
@Oregon 69, Utah 58 - that's the big win you need to differentiate yourself from everyone else on the bubble
Iowa 74, @Nebraska 46 - handling business on the road is big this time of year
@Tulsa 55, Temple 39 - well, Tulsa's not going away
Michigan St 60, @Illinois 53 - this should finally help MSU lock a bid away

Catastrophic losses:
@Michigan 64, Ohio St 57 - I think OSU is okay given the current state of the bubble but these are the swing games (roadies at non-tourney teams) that you gotta get

Holding serve:
@Wichita St 62, Evansville 43
Indiana 84, @Rutgers 54
@Virginia 51, Florida St 41

NIT bubble watch:
Memphis 75, @Central Florida 65 (OT)
@St Louis 68, LaSalle 64 (OT)
@UConn 67, Tulane 60
@Arizona St 62, USC 56
Washington 87, @Washington St 84

Miscellany:
- Bucknell won again, and they've opened up a 2 game lead in the Patriot with 2 to play as Colgate punts a game at Loyola(MD) in 3OT
- The Colonial is now a 4-way tie at 11-5.  Everyone has 2 to play (N'eastern, W&M, JMU, UNC-W)
- WKU lost on the road, and are out of the CUSA race
- In the Horizon, Cleveland St lost at Milwaukee.  Valpo is on the brink of this title
- Iona has won the MAAC
