12/28 recap

Signature games:
Syracuse 78, Villanova 62 - No real harm to 'Nova, although getting to the 1 line is probably too tall an order now
Kentucky 73, Louisville 66 - UL has a resume problem.  That resume won't support a 1 seed claim.  The eye test will, though

Bracket impact games:
Indiana St 85, Belmont 73 - Maybe the death knell to Belmont.  Too many losses absorbed
UMass 69, Providence 67 - Golden chance for Providence goes by the boards
Missouri 68, NC State 64 - Mizzou adds a road win of reasonable value

Holding serve games:
Cincinnati 74, Nebraska 59
Duke 82, Eastern Michigan 59
Xavier 68, Wake Forest 53
VCU 69, Boston College 50
Gonzaga 74, Santa Clara 60
Colorado 84, Georgia 70
UCLA 75, Alabama 67

Road wins are always good wins:
Southern Miss 77, Rhode Island 64
Harvard 94, Fordham 86
George Washington 69, Hofstra 58

Bad loss zone:
UNC Greensboro 55, Virginia Tech 52
South Carolina 78, Akron 45 - I'm an idiot
Loyola Marymount 87, BYU 76 - Now I'm really worried about BYU.  The SoS might not be enough



Would you believe there's 39 games on Sunday without a single one I feel like listing?  It's a Hold Serve Sunday across the country.
