11/18 recap

Real life is really starting to get into the way....we'll get caught up soon enough, don't worry.  Although maybe it's a nice thing to do it this way - get separation from the results, and look back and see what mattered with more clarity.

Road wins by mid-majors that are only of interest to me:  Middle Tennessee over Tennessee St, Charleston over Charlotte, Murray St over Wright St, Nevada over Pacific

@Toledo 87, Oakland 74 - one of the MAC favorites hold off the Horizon favorite
@Maryland 80, Bucknell 78 - Bucknell took the LBSU playbook this year, playing a brutal schedule and getting punished for it.  I don't advise that script for most teams.
UT-Arlington 89, @BYU 75 - a decent road win, and a bad sign for the WCC.  Gonzaga beats a MWC team (USU) if you consider that noteworthy


Tournaments:

Bahamas:
Bradley 71, UTSA 69
Weber St 73, James Madison 65
Vermont 80, Coastal Carolina 67
Northern Kentucky 85, Iona 72

HoF Tipoff:
Texas Tech 75, Boston College 64
Northwestern 82, LaSalle 74 - kind of a bummer Northwestern didn't find a better tournament

Paradise Jam:
Houston 68, Liberty 66
Wake Forest 72, Quinnipiac 55 - Wake finally wins!
Mercer 78, Drexel 59
Colorado 86, Drake 81


...yeah, good stuff is coming in these tournament, though
