11/20 recap

Lipscomb 73, @TCU 64 - oof
Minnesota 80, Santa Clara 66 - a neutral site win, for those scoring at home
@San Diego 70, Colorado 64 - oof
Washington 71, Texas A&M 67 - another neutral site game; this win has more nutritional value for UW

Maui:
Duke 78, Auburn 71 - an actual honest-to-god signature win!  Very useful for when the argument for the #1 overall seed starts up
Gonzaga 91, Arizona 74
San Diego St 79, Xavier 74 - very important for SDSU as quality win chances are scarcer in the MWC
Iowa St 84, Illinois 68 - Illinois is terrible

Cayman Islands:
Clemson 64, Georgia 49 - two service holds for Clemson to reach the title game here
Boise St 72, St Bonaventure 52
Illinois St 73, Akron 68
Creighton 93, Georgia St 68 - Clemson and Creighton were clearly the best two teams, IMO; they both hold serve to the finals

HoF Classic:
USC 99, Missouri St 80 - well, this tourney didn't work out for the MVC
Texas Tech 70, Nebraska 52 - I have a suspicion this win will hold up as a quality win in March

Gulf Coast Showcase:
South Dakota St 99, UTSA 79
Colorado St 82, FGCU 74
UC Irvine 67, Tulane 55
Toledo 77, Louisiana-Lafayette 64

Legends Classic:
Temple 76, Cal 59 - zero and two for Cal; another roughing up for the Pac-12
St John's 87, VCU 86 (OT) - SJU with two solid resume-building wins in this tourney

Cancun:
Bradley 75, SMU 62 - the bottom is falling out of the middle of the American
Penn St 77, Wright St 59
