11/19 recap

Maui:
Duke 90, San Diego St 64
Gonzaga 84, Illinois 78
Auburn 88, Xavier 79 (OT)
Arizona 71, Iowa St 66 - probably the only toss-up game on paper.  All favorites hold in the quarterfinals in Maui

Paradise Jam:
Kansas St 82, Missouri 67 - K State walks out of this tourney with the useful win
Oregon St 74, Penn 58
Northern Iowa 54, Old Dominion 53 - this tourney derailed my ODU at-large campaign
Eastern Kentucky 100, Kennesaw St 81

MGM Resorts Main Event:
Arizona St 72, Mississippi St 67 - modest upset based on the rankings, and kinda sneaky important to the Pac-12's reputation as a whole
Utah St 80, St Mary's 63 - modest boon to the MWC; people will need to recalibrate their expectations on St Mary's this year

Cayman Islands:
Clemson 72, Akron 69
Georgia St 75, St Bonaventure 65 - perhaps I'm underestimating the value of some of these teams in the Fun Belt.  GaSt and GaSo might both be decent
Creighton 94, Boise St 82
Georgia 80, Illinois St 68

Fort Myers:
Loyola(Chi) 82, Richmond 66
Boston College 88, Wyoming 76 - two games to form in this tourney

Gulf Coast Showcase:
Tulane 84, South Dakota St 80
UC Irvine 65, UTSA 56
Louisiana-Lafayette 91, Colorado St 73
Toledo 90, FGCU 62

HoF Classic:
Nebraska 85, Missouri St 62
Texas Tech 78, USC 63

Legends Classic:
St John's 82, Cal 79
VCU 57, Temple 51 - useful win for the A-10
