3/6 recap

LSU 79, @Florida 78 (OT) - I'll deal with Florida down the road; I'm more concerned if LSU is playing its way onto the 2 line

@Seton Hall 73, Marquette 64 - I don't know, I'm so mad at the Big East in general.  I just have no idea what to do with them anymore.  This conference tournament is going to be lit
@Creighton 76, Providence 70 (OT) - this probably means we can bury Providence for the time being, and I guess Creighton is un-buried.  I dunno.  I mean, what the hell
@DePaul 101, Georgetown 69 - and then there's Georgetown, who gets their way onto the fringe of the bubble, and then does THIS.  Good lord.  How about we take the bottom 8 teams in the Big East and relegate them to their own quadrant of the NIT bracket?

@West Virginia 90, Iowa St 75 - this is a pretty silly loss to take, and ISU is creeping towards the 7 line in a hurry
Oklahoma St 67, @Baylor 64 - luckily for Baylor, they've long since cleared the bubble conversation

@Northwestern 68, Ohio St 50 - um, OSU, you were supposed to get clear of this bubble drama.  Instead you're kinda slipping right back into the middle of it

Clemson 64, @Notre Dame 62 - this was nearly a dumb loss.  Why do we have to take Clemson seriously?
Georgia Tech 63, @NC State 61 - NCSU is missing this tournament.  Their non-con SoS is disqualifying.  They are missing this tournament.  I cannot stress this enough

@Davidson 64, St Bonaventure 46
@Dayton 70, LaSalle 39

@Washington 81, Oregon St 76 (OT) - I know everyone has a fetish for a 1-bid Pac-12, but let's just accept Washington is probably a lock.  It's okay
Oregon 72, @Washington St 61 - OU is nominally the 3rd best team in this conference?

Fresno St 76, @San Diego St 74 - decent road win, useful for NIT bubble purposes

NEC quarters:
LIU 71, Sacred Heart 62
Fairleigh Dickinson 84, Wagner 46
St Francis(PA) 67, Bryant 63
Robert Morris 69, St Francis(BKN) 65 (OT)

Horizon quarters:
Northern Kentucky 99, Detroit 88
Oakland 88, Youngstown St 84

OVC 1st round:
Morehead St 72, SIUE 68
UT Martin 78, Eastern Illinois 71
