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.
