2/24 recap

Davidson 71, @Duquesne 60 - for those with NIT projections, it seems like Davidson has emerged with the 3rd best A-10 profile
St Bonaventure 68, @VCU 63 - well, they're holding steady for now

Virginia 66, @Pitt 37
@Duke 60, Syracuse 44
@Clemson 75, Georgia Tech 67
Louisville 75, @Virginia Tech 68 - the law of bubbles:  road wins in games between bubble teams are big gains for the winner and big losses for the loser
@Miami 79, BC 78
Notre Dame 76, @Wake Forest 71

Wichita St 84, @SMU 78

Kansas 74, @Texas Tech 72 - Kansas is getting a 1 seed.  Deal with it
@West Virginia 85, Iowa St 70
@TCU 82, Baylor 72 - please tell me everyone's backed off the Baylor thing for now
@Texas 65, Oklahoma St 64 - that was almost a disaster
@Oklahoma 86, Kansas St 77 - good god, OU needed this.  And so did K-State

@Creighton 89, Villanova 83 (OT) - woah, signature win!  Remember how tight and weird things are on the 6-8 lines, having this in your pocket can easily be worth 2 seed lines
@DePaul 70, Marquette 62 - oy vey
Providence 74, @Georgetown 69
Seton Hall 81, @St John's 74 (OT)

Michigan 85, @Maryland 61 - road wins are never trivial

@Middle Tennessee 79, UAB 54
@Western Kentucky 88, Old Dominion 66 - this gets ODU out of the awkward 3-way CUSA tie, so your two at-large candidates in the conference now co-lead the conference

@William & Mary 114, Charleston 104 (OT) - this gets Northeastern a share of the CAA title.  Charleston did sweep NU though, so that gives them the NIT autobid

@Penn 74, Harvard 71 - this likely decides the regular season title in the Ivy

@Loyola 68, Illinois St 61 - LUC likely hasn't done enough for an at-large, but they limited the number of dumb losses they had at least

@Oregon 98, Arizona 93 (OT)
USC 74, @Utah 58 - I think USC should be safe now
Washington 68, @Cal 51
@Stanford 86, Washington St 84
@Oregon St 79, Arizona St 75 - oy

@Florida 72, Auburn 66
Tennessee 73, @Ole Miss 65
@Georgia 93, LSU 82
@Mississippi St 72, South Carolina 68 (OT)
Texas A&M 89, @Vanderbilt 81
Arkansas 76, @Alabama 73
@Kentucky 87, Missouri 66 - I don't want to seed all these teams in the middle of this conference.  What a mess

Gonzaga 79, @BYU 65
@St Mary's 67, Santa Clara 40
