3/3 recap

Signature wins:
Georgetown 60, @Butler 54 - as I talked about earlier, the 4 through 6 lines are tight...this could be worth a seeding line, to both teams
Iowa 77, @Indiana 63 - a good road win should end the drama for Iowa.  For IU, the drama is just beginning, it seems

Catastrophic losses:
@Dayton 75, Rhode Island 59 - it's not a bad loss for URI, but it was their best last chance to be a part of the bubble this year.  Dayton to the lockbox
@Florida 66, Texas A&M 62 - now will people listen to me about A&M?

Holding serve:
Maryland 60, @Rutgers 50
North Carolina 81, @Georgia Tech 49
Ole Miss 82, @Alabama 74 - impressed here, actually
Kentucky 72, @Georgia 64 - no harm to UGa
Villanova 76, @Creighton 72
North Carolina St 66, @Clemson 61 - not a trivial road win for NC State
@Kansas 76, West Virginia 69 (OT) - by the way, WVU is kind of stuck a half-step behind the BU/OU/ISU group

MACtion!:
@Buffalo 93, Ohio 66
@Central Michigan 85, Toledo 77
Kent St 81, @Bowling Green 80
All of this means that in the west, CMU leads on 12-5 and Toledo is one back at 11-6.
In the East, 3 way tie:  Buffalo, Kent St, BGU.
CMU plays WMU for the outright league title and NIT bid Friday.  Buffalo and BGU play each other, Toledo at EMU and Kent/Akron play their rivalry game

A-Sun quarterfinals:
USC Upstate 90, Kennesaw St 54
Lipscomb 76, Northern Kentucky 73 (OT)
FGCU 81, Jacksonville 63
North Florida 81, Stetson 67

Patriot 1st round:
Navy 56, Army 52
Holy Cross 62, Loyola(MD) 45

Horizon 1st round:
Detroit 77, Youngstown St 67
Illinois-Chicago 60, Wright St 57

Miscellany:
@Northwestern 82, Michigan 78 (2OT), which probably ends Michigan's NIT hopes
@Missouri 63, Auburn 61
