3/5 recap

B1G:
Purdue 69, @Northwestern 65 - not a trivial road win, with a spot on the 4 line at stake
@Wisconsin 66, Minnesota 49 - a significant win to help rescue Wisconsin's seed, they were in danger of being in the 9/10 range
@Iowa 90, Penn St 79 - well, we're keeping an eye on Iowa, just in case
Michigan 93, @Nebraska 57 - with the Ivy League tourney, Princeton/Penn no longer get to play the last regular season game of the year.  That honor fell to...this tire fire of a game

AAC:
Cincinnati 67, @UConn 47
@Houston 73, East Carolina 51 - you can only win the games in front of you

MVC finals:
Wichita St 71, Illinois St 51 - ISU is going to miss the tournament.  Deal with it

Big South finals:
Winthrop 76, Campbell 59 - minor crisis of having a terrible team in the tournament averted

A-Sun finals:
FGCU 77, North Florida 61

CAA semis:
UNC-Wilmington 105, William & Mary 94
Charleston 67, Towson 59 - top two in this league hold serve to the finals

SoCon semis:
UNC Greensboro 77, Wofford 73
East Tennessee St 81, Samford 72 - pretty good result for the SoCon; a good team is going to win this tournament

MAAC semis:
Iona 73, St Peter's 65
Siena 89, Monmouth 85 - that'll cost the league a couple seed lines

Patriot semis:
Lehigh 91, Boston 88 (2OT)
Bucknell 70, Navy 65

Summit quarters:
South Dakota St 83, Denver 73
Omaha 84, IPFW 80

Horizon 2nd round:
Illinois-Chicago 79, Green Bay 70
Northern Kentucky 82, Wright St 77 - holy hell the Horizon has gone vertical.  4, 6, 9, 10 are the seeds of your 4 semifinalists.  Disaster

As an isu grad, i really hope youre wrong, but i think you are right, isu is one of the 36 best at large candidates but the resume lacks. Life is unfair
