Bracketology 2/15/2018

Quick update after a crazy night of hoops on Valentine's Day. There were many bubble teams that helped or hurt their resumes. NC State went on the road to beat fellow bubble team Syracuse, which now gives NC State 5 Quadrant 1 wins. Providence got a huge win at home, as they held on to upset Villanova. Boise State missed out on a golden opportunity for a marquee victory, losing on their home court to Nevada. Kansas State went on the road to Stillwater and held off fringe bubble team Oklahoma State.
