2/28 recap

Signature wins!  Signature wins everywhere!

Big 12:
@Oklahoma 67, TCU 60
@Kansas St 70, Iowa St 69 - K-State's on the bubble, I guess.  I mean...what would YOU do with them?  There's too many signature wins to ignore.  I have no idea what to do with them...or Iowa St for that matter, who will bleed a seed line, and maybe more, with this
@Baylor 78, West Virginia 66
@Texas Tech 63, Oklahoma St 62 - OSU, you're still a lock, but I'd prefer you make my life easier
@Kansas 69, Texas 64

ACC:
Louisville 81, @Florida St 59
@Boston College 79, NC State 63 - what?!?!?!?!  Well I guess they're picking the right games to win, but this is an absolutely horrific loss
@Clemson 70, Georgia Tech 63 (OT)
North Carolina 73, @Miami 64 - this won't hurt Miami, but they're in the position where they need to help themselves
@Virginia 69, Virginia Tech 57
@Duke 73, Syracuse 54

Big 10:
@Maryland 66, Michigan 56
Iowa 81, @Penn St 77 (OT) - jesus, Iowa
@Illinois 86, Northwestern 60

Big East:
@St John's 81, Georgetown 70 - GU is in a tight battle on the 4-6 lines, can't afford losses like these; St John's is about to visit the lockbox
Villanova 78, @Xavier 66 - this won't hurt X
Butler 67, @DePaul 53
@Seton Hall 67, Creighton 66

Pac-12:
Arizona 63, @Utah 57- Zona, welcome back to the discussion for a 1 seed
@USC 70, Washington 55

SEC:
@Georgia 68, Missouri 44
@LSU 73, Ole Miss 63 - not the greatest week for Ole Miss.  Still in the field, but gave away some margin for error.  However, by losing to Georgia and LSU, they're really helping the rest of the conference out
@Kentucky 84, Arkansas 67
@Vanderbilt 73, Alabama 66
@South Carolina 81, Mississippi St 68
@Florida 66, Tennessee 49
@Texas A&M 80, Auburn 55

AAC:
Cincinnati 63, @Tulane 47
Tulsa 74, @Memphis 72 (OT) - Tulsa really insists on being as borderline a bubble team as possible, huh?

A-10:
Rhode Island 59, @LaSalle 56
Dayton 59, @VCU 55 - VCU bleeding significant seed lines; Dayton very close to the lockbox
@St Bonaventure 92, Duquesne 75
@UMass 82, Fordham 74

Small conferences:
- Stephen F Austin 102, @Houston Baptist 87.  And perhaps just as big, Sam Houston St finally messed up and lost on the road at TAMU-CC...SFA's finally got solo possession of the Southland lead
- MAC:  Central Michigan loses, so we're back to a 3-way CMU/BGU/Toledo tie.  2 to play
- Bucknell wins, clinches the Patriot League
- North Florida wins and is your A-Sun champ (FGCU loses again anyways)
- Texas Southern beats Alabama St to get control of the SWAC
- Green Bay wins over Oakland, which is important because they won't have an auto-bid to the NIT
- UC-Irvine loses, and UC-Davis leads by 2 with 2 to play in the Big West
- It was the final day in CAA play, and things got sideways.  UNC-Wilmington and William & Mary tied for the lead...and both lost.  Northeastern and James Madison were one back...and both won.  The result?  4-way tie!  Bill & Mary get the 1 seed and the NIT bid.
- Harvard and Yale win again in the Ivy
- Big Sky:  Montana beats EWU on the road; Sac State back in the lead there, but it's a 3-team race
- Final day in the greatest conference race ever, the Big South.  Charleston Southern beats High Point in 3OT..both finish 13-5 at the top, CSU gets the tiebreaker and NIT bid.  3 teams finish 12-6, one back
- CUSA:  Old Dominion 70, @North Texas 57 in bubble news.  In conference race news, LaTech wins again, and just about has the hammer on this conference race
- SoCon:  Wofford wins again
- The Sun Belt is eventful again - your co-leaders Louisiana-Monroe and Georgia Southern lost, and that means Georgia St pulled even with both.
- Conference undefeateds Murray St and NCCU win
- South Dakota St lost to end up sharing the Summit title with NDSU.  SDSU has the 1 seed though
