11/29 recap

Battle 4 Atlantis
Villanova 63, Kansas 59 - Signature win alert!  
Iowa 89, UTEP 53 - Iowa could be really good this year.  Bad break not to get a shot at a lynchpin win against KU, but a Xavier/UTEP/Nova trifects would look solid
Tennessee 64, Xavier 49 - Bubble game. 
Wake Forest 77, USC 63

Old Spice:
Oklahoma St 69, Butler 67
Memphis 76, LSU 69 - This means a OSU/Memphis rematch.  Big stakes for Memphis in that one.  3rd place game of Butler/LSU is probably more important
St Joseph's 78, Siena 66
Washington St 69, Purdue 54

Global Sports:
Oregon 85, Pacific 62


NIT:
Arizona 72, Duke 66 - Duke has lost to Kansas and Arizona.  Not a bad thing, but that does hurt them in the pecking order for a #1 seed.  Arizona gets a signature win, which is good because while the Pac-12 is good, they lack elite teams
Drexel 85, Alabama 83 - CAA looks like it's back

Wooden Legacy:
San Diego St 86, Creighton 80 - Possible signature win?  
Marquette 76, George Washington 60 - SDSU/Marquette is your title game.  Useful game for both.  G-Dub gets one more shot to show they're for real, against Creighton
Miami 48, CS Fullerton 46
Arizona St 80, Charleston 58

Barclays:
Ole Miss 77, Georgia Tech 67
Penn St 89, St John's 82 (OT) - horrible loss for St John's.  Ole Miss not getting a lot of help out of this tournament

Corpus Christi:
Virginia 76, SMU 73
Missouri St 73, Texas A&M 67 - this means Virginia/MSU.  MSU can't afford to let the opportunity pass.  Virginia can't afford a marginal loss.  High stakes

Vegas:
Missouri 83, Nevada 70
UCLA 95, Northwestern 79

Great Alaska Shootout:
TCU 72, Tulsa 62
Harvard 76, Green Bay 64 - Harvard/TCU is your title game.  Meh.  Meanwhile, Pepperdine/Indiana St for 55th place, and looks like I'm completely wrong about Denver.

Louisville 69, Southern Miss 38 - So much for thinking Southern Miss is a CUSA favorite
Florida 67, Florida St 66 - No real sin to lose the game for FSU, Florida definitely could've used it
Mercer 117, Valparaiso 108 (3OT)
