12/6 recap

A new section heading to lead off this day:  Inexusable losses of the day!

NJIT 72, @Michigan 70 - my God....no words
@South Carolina 75, Oklahoma St 49 - getting blown out by a bad SEC team is a disaster for a bubble team
USC Upstate 59, @Georgia Tech 54 - and this is a horrible look for the ACC who's desperately trying to get the bottom half of this league to stand up
North Florida 73, @Purdue 70 - guess Purdue isn't relevant after all

Signature wins of the day:
Virginia 74, @VCU 57 - even though VCU is struggling, this win will have shelf life
Green Bay 68, @Miami 55 - Miami's built up enough equity to survive this loss for now; the real story is GB keeping at-large hopes floating for the time being
@Arizona 66, Gonzaga 63 - crushing loss of a signature win chance for Gonzaga
St John's 69, Syracuse 57 - well, now we know 2 things:  St John's is a player this year, and Syracuse might be a bubble team
Boise St 82, @St Mary's 71 - signature win for BSU, crushing to the at-large hopes of St Mary's
