1/13 recap

Signature wins of the day:
Butler 79, @Seton Hall 75 - grabbing a road win in a conference with this much depth is pure GOLD
Miami 90, @Duke 74 - although I wonder how devalued a win over Duke might become; for now, the signature win Miami needed to be a legit bubble threat

Catastrophic loss of the day:
@Tennessee 74, Arkansas 69 - this is the type of road game you have to win, Arkansas

Notables:
@Kansas 67, Oklahoma St 57
@West Virginia 86, Oklahoma 65 - when home teams hold in the Big 12, it's close to a non-event
VCU 65, @Rhode Island 60 - probably asking too much of URI to win this game but these opportunities for signature wins will be rare for them
@Tulsa 66, UConn 58 - Tulsa all of a sudden is the one with clear control in the American
@Boise St 82, UNLV 73 (OT)

Hold-serve theater:
@Louisville 78, Virginia Tech 63
@Indiana 76, Penn St 73
@Ohio St 71, Michigan 52
@Virginia 65, Clemson 42
Northern Iowa 63, @Bradley 52
@Syracuse 86, Wake Forest 83 (OT) - boy, talk about near disasters
Stephen F Austin 109, @Central Arkansas 58
@Kentucky 86, Missouri 37
Georgetown 78, @DePaul 72
Iowa 77, @Minnesota 75 - okay, we can discard Minnesota now
@South Carolina 68, Alabama 66 - whatever, SEC
@Texas A&M 74, Mississippi St 70
