2/3 recap

Signature wins:
@Oklahoma 71, West Virginia 52 - every win matters in this conference
Louisville 63, @Miami 55 - and every hold over a worse team on the road matters too

Catastrophic losses:
Mississippi St 71, @Tennessee 66 - you cannot, cannot lose games at home to inferior teams.  UT is about to be off the bubble pace for good
@Wake Forest 88, NC State 84 - as I said, holding serve over bad teams on the road matters.  Because dropping games like this to go under .500 in the conference is trouble
@DePaul 75, Seton Hall 62 - SHU is starting to court bubble trouble for the first time this year.  Meanwhile, DePaul is mucking everything up.  Every bubble team they finish ahead of in the standings is one black mark against the league
@Vanderbilt 67, Florida 61 - Florida is dead, dead dead, it seems

Holding serve:
@Kentucky 69, Georgia 58
@Wisconsin 92, Indiana 78 - Indiana's still in fine shape
@Butler 85, St John's 62 - this won't push the Johnnies off the bubble, but they can't let too many of these chances go by the boards
Northern Iowa 61, @Indiana St 51
@Syracuse 72, Virginia Tech 70
@Arkansas 75, South Carolina 55
Boise St 68, Utah St 63 - I guess Boise's still hanging on the fringes of this race
@Illinois 66, Rutgers 54

Miscellany:
Nebraska beats Northwestern, and are still way too far away from the bubble to matter
Illinois St holds over Evansville at home.  3rd in the MVC is now a joint Illinois St/Indiana St on 7-4.  Evansville is 6-5, and it's becoming increasingly clear there will be no NIT teams in this conference

Big South Watch!
Radford beats leader High Point on the road, and with Asheville losing to Coastal Carolina...this conference is one glorious mess.
High Point 8-3
Radford 8-3
Coastal Carolina 7-4
Gardner-Webb 7-4
Charleston Southern 7-4
Winthrop 7-4
UNC Asheville 7-4
and a bunch of teams way below .500
