1/7 recap

Big 12:
Iowa St 87, Baylor 72 - Missed chance for Baylor, but plenty of quality win chances await in conference.  ISU building up equity for a top-2 seed right now
Kansas St 65, TCU 47 - Road win

B1G:
Michigan St 72, Ohio St 68 (OT) - A badly needed signature win chance by the boards for OSU

Big East:
Creighton 81, DePaul 62

ACC:
NC State 77, Notre Dame 70 - Sigh.  These are the games bubble teams have to win, Notre Dame.  However, their loss is NC State's gain
Duke 79, Georgia Tech 57
Syracuse 72, Virginia Tech 52 - Road win

SEC:
Tennessee 68, LSU 50 - LSU with questionable home losses as of late, and are in sudden bubble trouble.  Tennessee gets a quality road win and are temporarily ahead in the great race to 4th place in the SEC
Alabama 68, Vanderbilt 63 - UA not deceased yet in the bubble race, incredulously

A-10:
St Louis 59, Rhode Island 58 - Road win

American:
Cincinnati 61, Houston 60 - All road wins are big wins for bubble teams


Wednesday preview:
Kansas at Oklahoma - KU has to start compiling wins at some point
Harvard at UConn - We'll know how serious Harvard's at-large chances are after this one
Wake Forest at Virginia - And we'll know how serious Wake is too
Georgetown at Providence - Gotta get these road wins, G'town
Illinois at Wisconsin - Free run for UI here
Texas at Oklahoma St - Man, the Big 12 is brutal
Boise St at San Diego St - SDSU begins the March to a protected seed.  Boise's best signature win chance comes early this year
