1/8 recap

I'm fearing my off-and-on schedule is going to last a couple more weeks.  I'm trying, but I lack the cap space (read:  time) that other bracketologists likely have right now.

ACC:
Duke 73, @Georgia Tech 64
Florida St 78, @Wake Forest 68
Pitt 73, @UNC 65 - jesus christ, Roy Williams
@NC State 73, Notre Dame 68
Interesting division of the top and bottom of this conference.  Definitely weaker in the middle this year.  Usually, the resume of the top teams are littered with Q1 wins provided by regular conference play...but the resumes of the top teams won't be quite as deep this year.  Could turn a 2 seed into a 3 seed, for example.  Duke and FSU can afford maybe one or two less slip-ups from here on in

Big East:
@Georgetown 87, St John's 66
Seton Hall 83, @Xavier 71 - this should hold up as a quality win

B1G:
@Indiana 66, Northwestern 62
Illinois 71, @Wisconsin 70 - Illinois is.....good?  These are precious road wins

Big 12:
Kansas 79, @Iowa St 53
Oklahoma 72, @Texas 62

SEC:
@Auburn 83, Vanderbilt 79
@Alabama 90, Mississippi St 69
@LSU 79, Arkansas 79

AAC:
@Cincinnati 75, Tulsa 44
@SMU 81, UCF 74
@UConn 67, Tulane 61

MWC:
San Diego St 72, @Wyoming 52

A-10:
Duquesne 78, @St Joseph's 60
@Rhode Island 69, Davidson 58
St Bonaventure 61, @George Mason 49
@UMass 77, LaSalle 69
@St Louis 63, George Washington 58
I'm kind of not sure what to make of the A-10.  I feel fairly confident that this group of teams will band together and combine for 3 bids, but hell if I know which 3

other:
Stony Brook 81, @Vermont 77
East Tennessee St 64, @UNCG 57
Texas A&M-CC 73, @Stephen F Austin 72 - that's a terrible loss
