11/17 recap

Ok, there's a few things we need to discuss.

Indiana St 83, Notre Dame 70 - ok so after losing at Belmont, Indiana St gets a better road win
Stanford 66, Denver 57 - road wins are road wins
Belmont 83, North Carolina 80 - ok so I'll call this a quality road win

OK, timeout.  Belmont is 3-1.  Road win at rival Lipscomb, home win over Indiana St, road win at UNC, road loss at Richmond.  I think that qualifies as a legit at-large resume so far.  They get a shot at VCU at home in a couple weeks.  Also a return home game against Indiana St, road game at Kentucky, road game against MTSU, and what figures to be a few quality win chances in the OVC.  Pay attention here

Iowa St 77, Michigan 70 - Quality win for ISU to help legitimize the Big 12 early.  As for Michigan, this loss isn't a sin, but their B1G bretheren are piling up good early wins and eeking ahead of them
Clemson 71, South Carolina 57 - poor SEC
Oregon St 90, Maryland 83 - .....what?  Awful loss for the ACC in general
Illinois St 68, Northwestern 64 - .........what?!


Monday preview:
a lot more cupcakes.  I'll be paying attention to teams with sneaky road tests:  SMU at Arkansas, Southern Miss at North Dakota St.  A few top teams in action who just need to hold serve.
