12/17 recap

Kentucky 103, North Carolina 100 - could be a useful result if both are competing for a 1 seed in March, but otherwise this is just confirmation these two will hang out around the top lines for the year
Butler 83, Indiana 78 - ditto
Purdue 86, Notre Dame 81 - these tams are a little further down the S-Curve, but otherwise, ditto
Arizona 67, Texas A&M 63 - more harm than you think to A&M, given the general state of the SEC

UCLA 86, Ohio St 73 - neutral site wins matter too
Kansas 89, Davidson 71
South Carolina 77, @South Florida 66 - road wins are never trivial
@Xavier 69, Wake Forest 65
@Oregon 83, UNLV 63
Georgetown 78, @Syracuse 71 - very damaging loss to Syracuse very important to GU's minuscule at-large hopes
Memphis 99, @Oklahoma 94
Texas Tech 79, @Richmond 72 - RU isn't the greatest team, but road wins matter, TTU may be an at-large player
Arkansas 77, Texas 74 - Arky may be a viable at-large team this year
Kansas St 89, Colorado St 70
Iowa 69, Northern Iowa 46
Northwestern 67, Dayton 64 - actually a quality win, and NU will be hanging around the bubble this year.  Dayton, notsomuch
Oklahoma St 93, @Wichita St 76 - signature road wins matter
@VCU 80, Middle Tennessee 77 - Middle's a good team who possibly maybe could've been in the at-large discussion with a win....so ouch
New Mexico St 81, @Arizona St 70
@Vanderbilt 76, Chattanooga 74
Illinois 75, BYU 73 - BYU is dead team walking
