1/28 recap

Signature wins:
@Notre Dame 77, Duke 74 - erasing their SoS concerns, one signature win at a time
Stanford 84, @Washington 74 - road wins over bubble teams, to help consolidate your own position?  Good win

Catastrophic losses:
@Penn St 63, Minnesota 58 - Minny is dead and buried
@Arizona St 73, Oregon St 55 - just as OSU was starting to creep up the P12 standings and the bubble, this reminder that they're still not good
@Purdue 83, Indiana 67 - IU is still fine, but this could be worth a seeding line
Georgia Tech 70, @Miami 50 - and they are NOT fine.  You can't get blown out at home like this
Clemson 68, @NC State 57 - not a productive day for the ACC.  Can't lose home games to non-tourney teams!
@Creighton 77, St John's 74 - St John's is now officially in big trouble

Teams holding:
SMU 63, @South Florida 52
Temple 86, @Central Florida 62
Seton Hall 80, @Marquette 70 - a pretty good road hold for SHU
Rhode Island 64, @Fordham 63
@Richmond 86, Duquesne 55
@LSU 64, South Carolina 58
@Oklahoma 81, Texas Tech 36
@Wichita St 58, Loyola(Chi) 47
Northern Iowa 59, @Southern Illinois 52
Kansas 64, @TCU 61
Louisville 81, @Boston College 72
@Memphis 70, East Carolina 58
@Ole Miss 79, Mississippi St 73
@Arizona 90, Oregon 56


Miscellany:
Albany 47, @Vermont 44 - to 8-0 in A-East and 2 games clear of everyone
The Colonial's getting weird.  At joint 7-2 is William & Mary and UNC-Wilmington, and the favorites Northeastern and JMU now trail by a game
After a day of top teams losing, High Point leads the Big South on 7-2...and half the world is behind them at 6-3 (Coastal Carolina, Radford, Charleston Southern, Winthrop, UNC-Asheville)

and because no one cares:  @Florida St 82, Wake Forest 76 (2OT)
