11/20 recap

Iowa St 90, BYU 88 - Definitely the resume win of the night.  Iowa St's now got a win over Michigan and a signature road win in their back pocket 2 weeks into the season.   It's especially important as these represented probably the best 2 chances at signature non-con wins.  They have UNI and Iowa on the horizon, but those games are hardly mandatory.

As for BYU, they had equity built up from a Stanford win.  Just don't get swept by the upcoming Texas/Utah St swing.

Dayton 82, Georgia Tech 72 - Road wins are road wins
North Carolina Central 82, North Carolina St 72 (OT) - Once again, the soft underbelly of the ACC is hurting the league as a whole
Wichita St 77, Tulsa 54 - Road wins, etc etc


Thursday notables:
Tournaments!
Puerto Rico:  Charlotte /Kansas St, Northeastern/Georgetown, Long Beach St/Michigan, Florida St/VCU.  Should be obvious who needs the win in each
Charleston:  Nebraska/UMass, UAB/New Mexico, Georgia/Davidson, Temple/Clemson
Connecticut at Boston College - must win for UConn
Central Florida at Miami - ascendent programs get this road win, UCF
MTSU at Florida - Florida likely holds serve here
Indiana n. Washington (neutral) - IU doesn't have many non-con games of note.  They'd be well advised to win this
