11/22 recap

Puerto Rico:
Georgetown 90, Kansas St 63
VCU 73, Long Beach St 67 - this means we're headed for a relatively useful 5th place game of G'town/VCU!
Michigan 82, Florida St 80 (OT) - well, FSU has my attention now.  there's room in the ACC hierarchy for them to be mid-table and get an at-large bid.  As for Michigan, Charlotte probably won't be much resume help compared to what they'll find in the B1G.  But it's everything for Charlotte right now.

Charleston:
UMass 81, New Mexico 65 - UMass is now 5-0.  Beat BC on a neutral.  Win over LSU too.  There's a useful pocket collection of wins going.  Plus they have BYU, @Ohio, N-Florida St still coming.  Big chance for them this season.  They get Clemson next, who blew the doors off of Davidson.  UAB over Nebraska and Temple over Georgia in games that are not of significance at the moment.

Paradise Jam:
Northern Iowa/Maryland and Providence/LaSalle are the semifinal games.  Top 4 teams hold serve.  Everyone will be playing for a pair of reasonably good resume wins the next 2 days.

Michigan St 96, Virginia 77 - yawn.  Oklahoma gets the shot at a signature win next in Brooklyn

UConn 59, Indiana 58 - Both teams will have many more chances at big wins, but UConn gets one first.

Kansas 88, Towson 58 - ok, then


Saturday preview:
We'll watch the holiday tourneys mentioned above.  Also of note:  Hall of Fame Tip-Off:  UNC/Richmond and Louisville/Fairfield
