3/4 recap

Signature wins:
Notre Dame 71, @Louisville 59 - it's time to accept that Notre Dame is probably going to be on the 3 line
Miami 67, @Pittsburgh 63 - a critical road win to semi-jump back into the bubble race

Catastrophic losses:
Tennessee 78, @LSU 63 - I have no words for this
@Michigan St 72, Purdue 66 - MSU is just about in the lockbox; Purdue doesn't really get hurt by this, but they don't get any help, which is just as bad at the moment
Cincinnati 56, @Tulsa 47 - not a bad loss, but a catastrophic one, because they needed that signature win very badly.  Cincy probably to the lockbox now

Holding serve:
Ohio St 77, @Penn St 67 - I'll wait one more win before lockboxing OSU
Providence 79, @Seton Hall 66
