win of the day:
Minnesota 86, @Providence 74 - our first signature road win? Road win over a probable tourney team, likely a Tier 1 victory come March. That's a signature win
wins of note:
Middle Tennessee 72, @Murray St 67 - road wins are never trivial
@Nevada 88, Rhode Island 81 - good matchup of conference favorites. The home team winning probably means nothing significant to either's resume. Well, maybe this hurts URI more than you'd think; the A-10 is struggling as a whole so far
catastrophic losses:
Jacksonville St 94, @Richmond 61 - ok, so I think we've established Richmond is not good this year
Montana 83, @Pittsburgh 78 - Pitt probably wasn't going to survive the ACC, but it's always nice to mentally check off a team this early for my purposes
Milwaukee 74, @Iowa St 56
not as hurtful as you think:
@Belmont 69, Vanderbilt 60 - good on Vandy for playing a true road game; this isn't going to hurt them as much as you'd think. A better SEC will give them chances to rebound, and the committee will forgive the occasional road loss like this
trivial results:
Wichita St pounded CAA favorite Charleston....St Mary's over New Mexico St....USC over NDSU....Notre Dame over Mt St Mary's. A motley collection of decent-to-good mid-majors go down. MEAC favorite Morgan St did win on the road at South Florida. FGCU beat Siena on the road, they might be semi-good. Old Dominion beat James Madison on the road. One of the MAC favorites, Western Michigan, lost on the road at South Carolina. Wyoming beat Oregon St, whoop-de-doo.
