12/1 recap

There are a million games on this day and a lot of nice wins I'm passing over.....

B1G:
@Michigan 76, Purdue 57
@Maryland 66, Penn St 59
@Indiana 68, Northwestern 66

non-con signature wins:
Gonzaga 103, @Creighton 92 - road wins are never trivial.  Remember, these games matter more, disproportionally, for Gonzaga than for most teams, as piling up quality wins OOC is more important for them.  GU cruising to the 1 line
Nevada 73, @USC 61 - see Gonzaga comment and basically apply it double for Nevada

@Kansas 90, Stanford 84 (OT) - is Stanford a glutton for punishment?  Kind of a pretty good .500 team at this stage
@Marquette 83, Kansas St 71 - this is why road wins are gold, because they're not easy to get
@Houston 65, Oregon 61
Texas Tech 78, Memphis 67
Villanova 85, @La Salle 78 - creative accounting makes this Big 5 game a true road win for Nova
St John's 76, Georgia Tech 73
Louisville 70, @Seton Hall 65 - road win
@Green Bay 100, Belmont 92 - Belmont finally loses
NC State 80, Vanderbilt 65
@Providence 59, Rhode Island 50
@St Louis 64, Butler 52
Temple 77, @St Joseph's 70
Cincinnati 65, @UNLV 61
Yale 77, Miami 73 - played in Miami, yet seems to count as a neutral site win because this was part of a 1-day invitational?  Huh?
@Wichita St 71, Baylor 63
@New Mexico St 69, Washington St 63
@Weber St 113, BYU 103 - ouch

Belfast:
Buffalo 85, San Francisco 81 - not a trivial win for a mid-major like Buffalo.  They're legit at-large players this year
Stephen F Austin 66, Milwaukee 51

MWC/MVC challenge:
San Diego St 75, Illinois St 65
New Mexico 85, Bradley 75 - MWC salvages a couple road wins; Nevada needs all the help it can get from the conference
