Signature wins:
@Maryland 59, Wisconsin 53 - Maryland up to the 3 line, Wisconsin down to the 2 line for me. This is the impact win Maryland needed to hang onto their top 4 seed
@Villanova 89, Providence 61 - it's more the margin of victory that's important, because Nova smashing their opponents will get them by Gonzaga in the S-Curve eventually
North Carolina St 58, @North Carolina 46 - signature road win! They've now taken road games off of Louisville and UNC, and are all of a sudden cooking with gas here. All they need to do is beat BC on the road, split with @Clemson and Syracuse, and they might be all set
Catastrophic losses:
@West Virginia 71, Texas 64 - this doesn't hurt in the micro view, but in the macro, it's yet another loss. Gotta beat someone
Syracuse 65, @Notre Dame 60 - these are the losses that make people pay more attention to your non-con SoS
Holding serve:
LSU 84, @Auburn 61
@Arkansas 81, Texas A&M 75 - A&M stays out of my field; this won't hurt them, but it doesn't help either
@Pittsburgh 71, Boston College 65
@Boise St 76, New Mexico 65
Miscellany:
- In the MAC, Kent lost and CMU won. Central Michigan, with Toledo not playing yesterday, has temporary full possession of the MAC lead
- NIT watch: @Alabama 59, South Carolina 51; @Utah St 83, UNLV 65; and @Missouri 64, Florida 52 as UF is now too far gone for even the NIT
- Creighton 75, @DePaul 62. It took all season, but DePaul is finally acting like DePaul
