3/4 recap

Texas 62, @Oklahoma St 50

IvyWatch:
Yale 88, @Cornell 64
@Harvard 73, Princeton 71 - Yale 1 up with 1 to play

OVC semifinals:
Austin Peay 97, Belmont 96 (OT) - this is your 8 seed here...ew
Tennessee-Martin 83, Morehead St 70 - an absolute disaster for the OVC.  Sure UT-M is the 2 seed, but remember the divisions.  The 4 best teams in this conference were in the east, while UT-M won the west.  The OVC is going to be sent careening into Dayton because UT-M does not have the resume to avoid it (and Austin Peay certainly doesn't)

MVC quarterfinals:
Wichita St 66, Loyola(Chi) 58 - ok maybe I recommend winning this game a little more convincingly
Northern Iowa 66, Southern Illinois 60
Evansville 66, Missouri St 56
Indiana St 65, Illinois St 57

MAAC quarterfinals:
Monmouth 59, Rider 48
Iona 73, Canisius 55

Big South quarterfinals:
High Point 89, Longwood 78
UNC-Asheville 80, Liberty 49
Winthrop 67, Presbyterian 53
Gardner-Webb 69, Coastal Carolina 65 - mild upset

WCC first round:
Loyola Marymount 64, San Diego 61

Colonial first round:
Drexel 57, Elon 56
Charleston 67, Delaware 63

SoCon first round:
Samford 92, VMI 85 (OT)
Mercer 71, The Citadel 69

NITWatch:  Ohio gets one more win (Akron wins again and had the conference in hand) and is probably the one viable NIT at-large team from the MAC...I think Princeton's still in good shape here...Illinois St losing probably locks Evansville in as the #2 choice in the MVC, but that won't matter much...
