11/27 recap

Battle 4 Atlantis:
Syracuse 74, Texas A&M 67
Gonzaga 73, UConn 70 - everyone in the top 4 kind of leaves with something of value for the resume
Michigan 78, Texas 72 - Michigan walks out with a Texas win, Texas walks out with a Washington win
Washington 71, Charlotte 66

Wooden Legacy:
Michigan St 77, Boise St 67
Providence 69, Arizona 65 - well, there's our mild upset.  Provi/Michigan St for the title, while Provi gets a signature win to work with.  Arizona will be fine, probably
over in the consy, Irvine binked BC and Evansville over Santa Clara

Advocare:
Dayton 73, Monmouth - Monmouth's done plenty for their resume, so no harm.  Now if they beat USC...oh boy
Xavier 87, USC 77 - Dayton/Xavier for the title, this set up nicely
Notre Dame 68, Iowa 62
Alabama 64, Wichita St 60 - if you can get Wichita/Iowa in a 7th place game, you're doing okay

Emerald Coast Classic:
Iowa St 99, Virginia Tech 77
Illinois 72, UAB 58

Barclays Center Classic:
Cincinnati 65, Nebraska 61
George Washington 73, Tennessee 70 - building on signature wins

NIT:
Villanova 69, Georgia Tech 52
Stanford 69, Arkansas 66

Las Vegas Invitational:
Richmond 94, California 90 - losing to SDSU is fine; losing this too is one too many.  Is Richmond a threat now?
West Virginia 72, San Diego St 50 - and WVU gets 2 wins out of this

Corpus Christi:  UTEP over SIU, Colorado St over Portland

Great Alaksa:  Alaska-Anchorage over Drexel, for some reason

Elsewhere:
Kentucky 84, South Florida 63
Northeastern 78, @Miami 77 - UM just kinda game up some of the goodwill they got from the Utah and Butler wins, but they'll be fine.  NU has an uneven non-con sked and needs to hold in upcoming games to pay this off
@Florida 70, FGCU 50
@NC State 87, Winthrop 79
Memphis 81, Ohio St 76 (OT) - OSU is toast already
@Oklahoma St 79, Long Beach St 73
Tulane 60, Stephen F Austin 59 - awful for SFA.  Remember, this Tulane team lost to 2 SWAC schools already

Cupcake winners:  Baylor, South Carolina, Utah
