1/7 recap

Big East:
@Villanova 93, Marquette 81
Creighton 78, @Providence 64 - road wins are never trivial, and Creighton needs legit high-end wins
@Xavier 97, St John's 82
Butler 85, @Georgetown 76 (OT)
@Seton Hall 87, DePaul 56

Big 12:
@Baylor 61, Oklahoma St 57 - still not sold on Baylor on the 1 line, but my hand is forced at this point
@Kansas 85, Texas Tech 68 - Big 12 will now show 2 teams on the 1 line for sure; that definitely won't hold by March
@West Virginia 82, TCU 70 - no harm to TCU, but this is one of 3 magic elixir chances in conference play that went by the boards
@Kansas St 75, Oklahoma 64
@Iowa St 79, Texas 70

@Georgia 71, Missouri 66
@South Carolina 79, Texas A&M 68
Mississippi St 95, @LSU 78
Ole Miss 88, @Auburn 85 - looks like Auburn is going to be a non-player this year
@Alabama 59, Vanderbilt 56 - consensus to me seems to be that UK/UF/Arky/USC have separated, but I'm not sure a 5th gets there now
