1/23 recap

Big 12:
Oklahoma 82, @Baylor 72 - a quality road win for OU, and this does matter when it comes to the 1 line now
@Kansas 76, Texas 67
West Virginia 80, @Texas Tech 76 - WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL PUTTING TEXAS TECH IN THEIR BRACKETS STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT
Iowa St 73, @TCU 60
@Kansas St 89, Oklahoma St 73

Pac-12:
@California 74, Arizona 73 - Arizona is pretty clearly behind Oregon and USC now, not sure what others are seeing.  This also keeps Cal a little bit ahead of the bubble
@Oregon 86, UCLA 72 - while this doesn't hurt UCLA, they're starting to compile some losses in quantity...will put pressure on them for the next month or so to win all the must-win games
Colorado 75, @Washington St 70
@Stanford 75, Arizona St 73 - and ASU is probably done

ACC:
@Miami 77, Wake Forest 63
Louisville 75, @Georgia Tech 71 - WF and GT are done here
Duke 88, @NC State 78
@Notre Dame 76, Boston College 49
Pittsburgh 74, @Florida St 72 - a very important road win for Pitt to stabilize the seed, and a devastating loss for the FSU resume

Big East:
@Xavier 84, Seton Hall 76
@Creighton 72, Butler 64 - Creighton is kind of becoming an annoyance - 5-2 in conference.  They're creeping up on the back end of the bubble.  Butler isn't there yet, but 2-5 in conference is untenable

B1G:
@Michigan St 74, Maryland 65 - MSU finally stops the bleeding; I have them settling on the 4 line.  Maryland, this doesn't hurt them too badly, unless you want a 1 seed, in which case it kinda really does hurt
@Indiana 89, Northwestern 57 - NU can't lose games like this and hang on to the back end of the bubble
Michigan 81, @Nebraska 68
Illinois 76, @Minnesota 71 (OT)

SEC:
@Texas A&M 66, Missouri 53
@Kentucky 76, Vanderbilt 57 - no real harm in losing this, but this was Vandy's big chance to erase some earlier sins
@Tennessee 78, South Carolina 69 - USC is not safe, folks
LSU 72, @Alabama 70 - well, it's not a bad road win.  LSU is plenty alive now
@Mississippi St 83, Ole Miss 77 - probably the end for Ole Miss
@Georgia 76, Arkansas 73 (OT)
@Florida 95, Auburn 63

MVC:
@Wichita St 88, Bradley 54

WCC:
Gonzaga 71, @Pacific 61
@Pepperdine 71, BYU 65
@St Mary's 89, Portland 74

MWC:
Boise St 81, @Wyoming 71
@San Diego St 70, Utah St 55 - at this time, all BSU and SDSU can do is win all these games...

Sun Belt:
Arkansas-Little Rock 68, @Texas-Arlington 62 - well, UALR's at large hopes are well alive now, and UTA is on the brink

non-con:
@UConn 68, Georgetown 62 - a pretty important hold for UConn, and a pretty big blow for GU
