I'll skip recapping all the good teams beating the bad teams. Here's the games of significance:
Oklahoma 82, Alabama 73
Providence 82, Boston College 78 (OT)
Connecticut 78, Maryland 77
Wisconsin 86, St John's 75
Oregon 82, Georgetown 75
Baylor 72, Colorado 60
We won't know what these mean until we know how good each team is, but the early takeaways: 1-2 start for the Big East, 2 losses for the ACC (and a 3rd bad one below), a couple of wins for the Big 12, a couple of losses for the Pac-12.
Purdue 77, Northern Kentucky 76 - disaster averted
Texas 76, Mercer 73 - missed on my first upset pick. and all of the others, too
Northern Colorado 60, Kansas St 58 - the first significant upset, K-State losing at home
St Francis (NY) 66, Miami 62 (OT) - and the second one
Upper-major and mid-major scores probably of interest to only me:
St Mary's 83, Louisiana Tech 70
Western Michigan 70, New Mexico St 64
BYU 81, Weber St 72
Utah St 78, USC 65
All and all, a pretty stable night.
What to watch for today? Honestly, not much. A few big boys have opening cupcakes. My two preferred mid-major matchups of the day are Northern Iowa at Ohio and St Joseph's at Vermont.
