1/21 recap

ACC:
North Carolina 90, @Boston College 82
@Florida St 73, Louisville 68 - it's time to have a talk about FSU and the 1 line
@Notre Dame 84, Syracuse 66 - under the radar, ND is trying to keep pace with the big 5 teams this year in the ACC
@Virginia 62, Georgia Tech 49
@Duke 70, Miami 58
Wake Forest 93, @NC State 88

Big East:
@Villanova 78, Providence 68
Marquette 102, @Creighton 94 - big, big for Marquette, who's been lurking on the fringe of the bubble.  And catastrophic for Creighton, who can fall out of the protected seed area pretty quickly
Butler 70, @DePaul 69 (OT) - a near disaster

Big 12:
@Kansas 79, Texas 67
Baylor 62, @TCU 53 - road wins are never trivial.  And this hurts just a little bit for TCU, a signature win would take out a lot of stress
@Kansas St 79, West Virginia 75 - their non-con was weak, but give credit, K-St is trying to put a resume together within the conference.  And WVU has done some serious damage to itself - see the Creighton comment
Iowa St 92, @Oklahoma 87 (2OT) - a near disaster for ISU
Oklahoma St 83, @Texas Tech 64 - an actual disaster for TTU

Pac-12:
Arizona 96, @UCLA 85 - signature road wins are gold.  And probably costs UCLA the 1 line, for now
@Oregon 69, Stanford 52
@Washington St 91, Colorado 89 (OT) - big trouble for the Pac-12's bubble hopes when the likes of WSU hover around .500 in the league
Utah 94, @Washington 72
California 69, @Oregon St 58

B1G:
Wisconsin 78, @Minnesota 76 (OT) - road wins are never trivial.  I'd recommend Minny get back to over .500 in the conference, just in case
@Purdue 77, Penn St 52
@Rutgers 65, Nebraska 64
@Michigan 66, Illinois 57
@Indiana 82, Michigan St 75 - it feels like Indiana has already bottomed out, and should be safe from here on in.  The real drama will now lie with MSU

SEC:
@Kentucky 85, South Carolina 69
Vanderbilt 68, @Florida 66 - just an awful, awful home loss.  This is a seed line loss
@Texas A&M 63, Georgia 62 - this is why road wins are never trivial.  It's getting tougher to get a read on the middle of this conference
Ole Miss 75, @Missouri 71
@Auburn 84, Alabama 64
@Tennessee 91, Mississippi St 74
@Arkansas 99, LSU 86

AAC:
Cincinnati 78, @Tulane 61
@SMU 85, Houston 64

A-10:
Rhode Island 90, @Duquesne 69

WCC:
@Gonzaga 73, Portland 52
@St Mary's 85, Pepperdine 65

elsewhere:
Fresno St 81, @Nevada 76 - MWC doomed to 1 bid
