11/16 recap

@UCLA 95, St Francis(PA) 58 - listed as SFU is the NEC favorite; it's safe to say that conference is headed for the 16 line
@Rhode Island 76, Harvard 74
@Louisville 86, Vermont 78 - VU hanging in on the road
St John's 84, @Rutgers 65 - a mandatory road game to win, but that's always step 1 to building an at-large resume
Loyola Marymount 65, Georgetown 52 - I won't post the whole Jamaica tournament, but oof
@FGCU 84, South Dakota St 78
@Butler 83, Ole Miss 76


Paradise Jam:
Kansas St 95, Eastern Kentucky 68
Missouri 55, Kennesaw St 52
Penn 78, Northern Iowa 71
Oregon St 61, Old Dominion 56 - the one semi-upset in my eyes in this tournament in the quarterfinals

2K Empire Classic:
Oregon 80, Syracuse 65 - SU takes the dreaded 0-2 in this field; but all 4 teams should be reasonably competent so this isn't a killer
Iowa 91, UConn 72 - Iowa is good?  I guess so

Charleston Classic:
Virginia Tech 88, Northeastern 60
Purdue 79, Davidson 58 - we get Va Tech/Purdue for this title, as we should
Wichita St 82, Appalachian St 76
Alabama 79, Ball St 61

Myrtle Beach:
Valparaiso 64, Monmouth 54
Wake Forest 66, CS Fullerton 59
Western Kentucky 63, West Virginia 57 - this is a big one, WKU is a quality team and this should help CUSA as a whole
UCF 77, St Joseph's 57 - a critical loss for the A-10 as a conference, who is already on the brink as a whole.  WKU/UCF for this title, that win will be a useful profile piece.  WVU/St Joe's.....critical game for St Joe's resume.
