In midweek action, the biggest game was Texas Tech’s blowout of Kansas. That moved the Red Raiders up three lines to a 5 and combined with Iowa State’s win at Cincinnati, swapped the Cyclones and Jayhawks.
Indiana State had a bad loss at home against Illinois State that dropped the Sycamores to a 10 seed. It also puts more pressure on them to win to Missouri Valley Tournament as an at-large bid is not a sure thing.
Texas A&M’s loss at Vanderbilt drops them back to bubble territory; conversely, New Mexico’s win at Nevada gets them off the bubble for now.
South Carolina’s embarrassing loss at Auburn drops them two lines. Not that losing at Auburn is a big deal, but losing by 40 hurts your metrics.
Pitt had a huge win at Virginia that moves them up, not into the field, but “into the conversation”, as they say.
