App St > Marshall 13.9%
Kenn St > Missouri St 20.4%
Duke > UNC 22.2%
Utah > K-State 24.9%
LT > Liberty 25.1%
FIU > Jax St 44.8%
NMSU > UTEP 50.1%

Jeremiyah Love should be in New York City.

No doubt about it.

Okay hand up I got kind of annoyed at Marcus' clock management here before I remembered the score.
