Indiana State lost by 18 at Illinois State.
Boise State down 19 in 2nd half at Fresno State.
NC State loses in OT to UNC.

Each of these teams started the night in the high 40s or 50s in RPI. Mostly unexpected results which help SJU, PC and GU.


The Boise game is final. They lost by 20.

Nebraska's loss to a bad Illinois team also helps the cause since Nebraska is a bubble team needing a road win like this to get consideration.

#12 SLU loses at home to #220 Duquesne; 71-64

#23 VCU wins at #191 Fordham: 85-66

#'s are RPI ranking.

Ranked teams: Memphis, Ohio St., Kentucky, and probably Iowa all lose.

Crazy night.

Oregon's chances on the bubble got a boost with a double OT win over short handed UCLA on the road.

Yep, not a great bubble night for the Big East. Not much bubble action tonight, so we can just sit back and enjoy PC-SHU.
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

2 bubble teams got huge boosts last night- Oregon and Arkansas.

Yep. Huge win for Arkansas. Should get them onto the bubble.

Some interesting games today...
Rhode Island blew out bubble team Richmond.
Miami (Fla) blew out bubble team NC State.
Northern Iowa beat bubble team Indiana State.
Michigan beat bubble team Minnesota.
Gonzaga blew out bubble team St Mary's.
AAC 6-seed Houston beat Temple.
SMU with another impressive win, over #208 Central Florida.
The San Francisco Dons (SJU beat em by 25) have climbed 30 RPI pts in 2 weeks (to 65) by beating no one. How?

Virginia became the first team* to ever lose an OOC game by 35+ points, and then go on to win the ACC regular season title. Best Conference Ever tm.

* Note that while Marquette led ACC-champ Miami (Fla) in the NCAAs last year by 30+ points, the final score was around 10 points.
