2/27 recap

@Kansas 73, Oklahoma 63

@Virginia 53, North Carolina 43 - 1 line implications?  Nah.  I still like UNC over Louisville and Oregon at the moment.  The bigger development is that it's a bit more cushion for Kansas/Villanova/Gonzaga at the top.  It's going to take something unusual for them to fall off the 1 line.  Bigger news is Virginia, who's back in play for the 4 line.

@Baylor 71, West Virginia 62 - significant for Baylor to steady its seed at 2.  Also significant in that I think it caps WVU's ceiling at a 4 seed.

@Virginia Tech 66, Miami 61 - kind of a status quo result for both teams, I'm largely unmotivated to move either team too much based on this result

Atlantic Sun quarterfinals:
FGCU 87, Stetson 57
North Florida 77, Jacksonville 74
Kennesaw St 80, South Carolina-Upstate 78 - your only (mild) upset on Day 1 of Championship Week That Is Actually 14 Days
Lipscomb 97, NJIT 66

elsewhere:
UNC-Greensboro stole the #1 seed in the SoCon from ETSU at the gun
UT-Arlington won again, continues its march forward on the bubble.  Also, Arky State won to stay on the NIT bubble
