2/9 recap

VCU 85, @St Bonaventure 55 - Davidson absorbs a pretty stupid loss at UMass, so VCU is back on top in the A-10

Duke 81, @Virginia 71 - If UVa doesn't lose to anyone other than Duke, do they stay on the 1 line?
@North Carolina 88, Miami 85 (OT)
@Clemson 59, Virginia Tech 51 - time to sweat VT's seed a bit.  They quite possibly could be 6th in the ACC
@Florida St 80, Louisville 75 (OT) - not gonna move either team's seed that much, based on this result
@Syracuse 67, BC 56
NC St 79, @Pitt 76 - road wins are never trivial

@Lipscomb 86, Jacksonville 77

@Tulsa 76, Temple 58 - oof

@Kansas 84, Oklahoma St 72
TCU 92, @Iowa St 83 - signature road win, and a good way to jump up a seed line.  Iowa St maybe loses a seed line here, as the competition on the 3-5 lines is pretty close IMO
Texas Tech 66, @Oklahoma 54 - at some point, even if you're a good team, you take on too much water in the boat and it sinks
Kansas St 70, @Baylor 63 - reality check:  Baylor was never truly safely in the field, and it's time to recalibrate accordingly.  K-State's seed is getting interesting too, because they could easily win the Big 12 and have, say, the 4th best resume
Texas 75, @WVU 53

@Marquette 66, Villanova 65
Butler 73, @Georgetown 69 - critical road win
Providence 70, @St John's 56 - a pretty crappy home loss to absorb
@Seton Hall 63, Creighton 58 - I just don't know what to do with the entire conference.  Someone behind MU and Nova is getting an at-large bid (maybe 2 of them), but I'll be damned if I know which ones.  This is getting silly.
DePaul 74, @Xavier 62 - DePaul is t3 in the conference.  Go to hell, Big East.

@Michigan 61, Wisconsin 52
@Michigan St 79, Minnesota 55
@Purdue 81, Nebraska 62

@Buffalo 90, Central Michigan 76 - Bowling Green lost to Toledo, getting UB back to even in the conference race at least

@Nevada 91, New Mexico 62
@San Diego St 68, Utah St 63 - USU got the tougher roadie at Fresno, but not this one.  Go figure

Belmont 96, @Morehead St 86

Washington St 69, @Arizona 55 - Wazzu sweeps their Arizona trip.  lolololololol
@Arizona St 75, Washington 63 - for the love of God, at least finish 2nd in this conference ASU
@Oregon St 79, Cal 71
Utah 93, @UCLA 92

@Tennessee 73, Florida 61
Kentucky 71, @Mississippi St 67 - ok, now we can get serious about UK and the 1 line
@LSU 83, Auburn 78
Ole Miss 80, @Georgia 64 - road wins are never trivial
@South Carolina 77, Arkansas 65 - and this is why
Alabama 77, @Vandy 67

@Wofford 83, Western Carolina 56
UNC Greensboro 78, @Chattanooga - 13-0 Wofford, 11-1 UNCG, Furman beats ETSU and both at 9-4.  Things holding to form in the SoCon

@Gonzaga 94, St Mary's 46 - this conference race is over
