3/5 recap

Good God, there's games everywhere.  This'll take awhile:

Signature wins:
@Davidson 82, VCU 55 - at some point, we need to talk about VCU's seed line, because it's going to be a serious issue.  But for now, Davidson has its signature win (and a piece of the A-10 lead, to boot)

Catastrophic losses:
Memphis 54, @UConn 53 - so that kills off their faint hopes
@Arizona St 67, Stanford 62 - oh dear, Stanford, no no no what are you doing

Holding serve, non-bubble edition:
Wisconsin 76, @Minnesota 63
Arkansas 78, @South Carolina 74
@Arizona 99, California 60
Utah 67, @Washington St 59

Holding serve, bubble edition:
Temple 70, @East Carolina 56
@Old Dominion 67, Marshall 50 - ODU quietly lurking.  Let's cover the rest of CUSA while we're here:  LaTech clinched the title, WKU wins, UTEP wins, UAB loses
@Stephen F Austin 92, Northwestern St 66 - Sam Houston St also wins, so it's a 1 game lead with 1 to play

Tournament recaps:
A-Sun semis:
North Florida 71, Lipscomb 57
USC Upstate 63, FGCU 62 - mild upset; UNF vs. USC Upstate for this title

MAAC 1st round:
Siena 71, Niagara 54
St Peter's 63, Fairfield 33
Marist 80, Quinnipiac 74

MVC 1st round:
Southern Illinois 55, Missouri St 48
Bradley 52, Drake 50 (OT)

Patriot quarters:
Lafayette 89, Boston 64
American 68, Lehigh 62 - mild upset
Bucknell 90, Holy Cross 83 (OT) - nearly a catastrophe
Colgate 72, Navy 62 - and the top 3 teams hold

OVC quarters:
Morehead St 76, Tennessee-Martin 65
Belmont 97, Eastern Illinois 64

Miscellany:
- how dare these other conferences play regular season games this time of year
- Sun Belt - Georgia St beat Louisiana-Monroe on the road...Georgia Southern also wins, so they're tied at 14-5 and play each other for the conference title
- North Carolina Central completes undefeated run in MEAC
- Colorado 64, @Washington 47
- not listing all the Big Sky games, but it's now EWU, Sac State, and Montana tied at 13-4, UNA on 12-5, 1 to play.  Sac State has to play at UNA as the one tough game.  What a mess
