3/10 recap

Houston 85, @Cincinnati 69 - this will reinvigorate the 2 line discussion for Houston

Wisconsin 73, @Ohio St 67 (OT)
@Indiana 89, Rutgers 73 - the worst Indiana can post is now 17-15.  That might matter for optics reasons
@Nebraska 93, Iowa 91 (OT) - good lord what is Iowa doing

A-Fun finals:
Liberty 74, Lipscomb 68 - welp, here we go.  Lipscomb on the at-large board, now right behind Belmont.  7 losses might be too many for an A-Sun team, looking at the resume from a macro point of view

SoCon semis:
Wofford 81, East Tennessee St 72
UNC Greensboro 66, Furman 62 - man.  I'm not sure this result doesn't mean that both teams will fall just short of an at-large bid.  It doesn't help that Belmont and Lipscomb are already in the middle of this conversation, making me wonder if mid-major at large bids will be allocated naturally by the committee.  But on the other hand, this is the script if you want a 3-bid SoCon

Big South finals:
Gardner-Webb 76, Radford 65 - that'll cost the conference a seed line, in all likelihood

MVC finals:
Bradley 57, Northern Iowa 54

Patriot semis:
Colgate 80, Navy 70
Bucknell 97, Lehigh 75 - form holds in the Patriot

CAA quarters:
Hofstra 76, James Madison 67
Delaware 85, William & Mary 79
Northeastern 80, UNC Wilmington 59
Charleston 73, Drexel 61

MAAC semis:
Iona 73, Siena 57
Monmouth 73, Canisius 59

Summit quarters:
North Dakota St 86, Oral Roberts 73
IPFW 96, South Dakota 70
