1/3 recap

B1G:
@Michigan 68, Penn St 55
@Indiana 73, Illinois 65
Minnesota 59, @Wisconsin 52 - ok I'll have to recalibrate my opinion on both teams after this one
@Purdue 86, Iowa 70

ACC:
NC State 87, @Miami 82

Pac-12 fail tracker:
Utah 96, @Arizona St 86 - good grief
@Arizona 64, Colorado 56
@USC 82, Cal 73
@UCLA 92, Stanford 70

WCC:
@San Francisco 76, St Mary's 72
@Santa Clara 68, San Diego 56
@Pepperdine 77, Loyola Marymount 62 - starting to feel like if a 2nd team emerges here, it'll be USF
BYU 90, @Pacific 87

SoCon:
@ETSU 81, Samford 72 (OT)
@Wofford 112, Citadel 81
@Furman 71, Mercer 58 - damn straight I'm branching out SoCon action to its own dedicated blurb this year.  I'm starting to wonder if they'll all beat each other up too much though

small-school upsets of note:
@Oakland 76, Northern Kentucky 74 - flesh wound for the Horizon faves
Marshall 70, @Old Dominion 67
@IPFW 104, South Dakota St 88
@North Texas 63, Louisiana Tech 59 - not an upset here; UNT seems to have ascended to CUSA favorite status
Jacksonville St 83, @Belmont 73
@Cal Baptist 82, New Mexico St 76 - WAC actually seems to have some decent teams on the top end of the conference.  Might be a fun league race
