Bracketology 2/21/17

The biggest result of the night was Virginia dropping their 4th straight game, this time at home to Miami. This moves the Hurricanes up to the 8-line, and they're looking quite solid for a bid now barring a complete collapse down the stretch. And yes, Virginia is in even if they lose every game left on their schedule. Texas Tech's last 4 losses have either come in OT, double OT, or been by a single point in regulation. They'll probably have to beat Kansas in the Big 12 tourney quarterfinals to have a chance now.

Tuesday night's slate is relatively light, Clemson @ Virginia Tech is the most intriguing bubble game. In the Big Ten, Indiana faces a must-win @ Iowa, and Northwestern has a deceptively tricky game @ Illinois.
