2/4 recap

Signature wins:
@Purdue 60, Ohio St 58 - well, I guess Purdue is kinda in play now.  OSU is about one more of these losses away from legit trouble again
Oklahoma St 65, @Texas 63 (OT) - and OSU gets the road scalp it needs to feel a bit more comfortable.  We'll deal with Texas' slide if it continues
Providence 74, @Georgetown 71 - signature road wins are always gold.  Provi is narrowing down on lockdom
@Wyoming 59, Colorado St 48 - not good for CSU, lots of good for Wyoming.  We'll see how this plays out...

Catastrophic losses:
St Bonaventure 62, @Davidson 61 - and at home, no less.  Davidson is running out of bubble room
@Ole Miss 69, Texas A&M 59 - this game could fit in any category here; Ole Miss is at least within shouting distance of the bubble now, and I have no idea what to do with A&M
@Texas Tech 64, Kansas St 47 - and I think we're done with that K-State bubble fad, right?
Creighton 79, @Xavier 72 (OT) - Xavier, you're probably safe, but this uses up a lot of margin of error you had

Holding serve:
Temple 61, @South Florida 48
@Duke 72, Georgia Tech 66
@Villanova 70, Marquette 52
@Notre Dame 71, Boston College 63
VCU 72, @George Mason 60
@UConn 65, East Carolina 52
UMass 78, @Fordham 72
Wichita St 62, @Bradley 59
@Memphis 74, Jacksonville St 48
@Maryland 64, Penn St 58
@Baylor 77, TCU 57
@Oregon 78, Washington 74
@Alabama 62, Missouri 49
San Diego St 65, @Nevada 63

Miscellany:
Over in the MAC, Akron and Kent St lost...so now we have 5 teams at 6-3 tied for the MAC lead.  Man, if this conference could just pick a team and let them break away from everyone else...
Albany to 10-0 in A-East
Cleveland St and Valpo now co-lead the Horizon at 8-2
Clemson 62, @Florida St 46 - Clemson's above .500 in the ACC?  yikes
@Air Force 53, New Mexico 49 - man, this MWC...
