Finally, a day worth analyzing in great detail.
Signature wins of the day:
Northern Iowa 81, Iowa St 79 - ISU and UNC are two scalps you can't ignore
@Virginia 86, Villanova 75 - could be useful for pecking order purposes in March
Butler 74, Purdue 68 - good chance for this to hold as Butler's signature win
@Texas A&M 80, Baylor 61 - SEC teams have to grab their signature wins OOC
Cincinnati 69, @VCU 63 - road win
Catastrophic losses of the day:
Ohio St 74, Kentucky 67 - this can be the difference between the 1 line and the 2 line
@Seton Hall 80, Wichita St 76 (OT) - margin of error disappearing
UNC Asheville 79, @Georgetown 73 - welp
Rice 90, @New Mexico 89
Notables:
Michigan St 78, @Northeastern 58 - road wins aren't trivial, remember
Utah 77, Duke 75 (OT) - tough to call it bad for Duke, they'll have chances to rebound. And Utah will have plenty more signature win chances, so this wasn't make-or-break for them
@Xavier 85, Auburn 61
North Carolina 89, UCLA 76 - doesn't really hurt UCLA, and somewhat important for UNC just to stop the bleeding
@Arizona 82, UNLV 70
@Georgia 75, Georgia Tech 61
Indiana 80, Notre Dame 73
Northwestern 78, @DePaul 70
