3/1 recap

Signature wins:
@UConn 81, SMU 73 - should we welcome back UConn to the bubble?  Maybe.  I mean, the bubble is pretty small compared to most years, and UConn probably has caught the tail end of it.  This brings them back to the table
Oregon 73, @Stanford 70 - a road win, and Oregon is on the brink of the lockbox.  Stanford is on the brink, period
@Ohio St 65, Purdue 61 - this should probably lock Ohio St in for good.  Purdue is right on the edge; this won't hurt but a golden chance to help themselves is gone

Catastrophic loss:
@Wake Forest 69, Pittsburgh 66 - oy

Holding serve:
@Providence 77, Marquette 66
@Wisconsin 68, Michigan St 61 - no harm to MSU this time, but it's go time now
@UCLA 72, Washington St 67

Miscellany:
- Iona lost, which may cost them a seed line
- @Colorado 87, Arizona St 81
- @California 73, Oregon St 56.  The NIT bubble for Pac-12 teams is pretty interesting between these two and Arizona St.  My instinct says OSU>ASU>Cal
