3/10 recap

Big 12 quarterfinals:
Kansas 85, Kansas St 63

Seton Hall 81, Creighton 73

ACC quarterfinals:
Virginia 72, Georgia Tech 52
North Carolina 88, Pittsburgh 71 - Pitt's probably done enough.  Step one of three for UNC's 1 seed complete
Miami 88, Virginia Tech 82 - Miami might need to beat Virginia to be on the 2 line
Notre Dame 84, Duke 79 - that last spot on the 4 line is open for a lot of teams...

Big 10 second round:
Illinois 68, Iowa 66 - wat
Michigan 72, Northwestern 70 (OT) - almost a disaster
Ohio St 79, Penn St 75

SEC second round:
Florida 68, Arkansas 61
Tennessee 67, Vanderbilt 65 - catastrophic loss of the day
Alabama 81, Ole Miss 73
