12/22 recap

signature wins:
@Arizona St 80, Kansas 76 - kind of a non-event for Kansas.  They've built up enough equity, this first loss won't hurt much.  The bigger story is the Pac-12 getting some much-needed street cred
Kentucky 80, North Carolina 72

quality wins:
@Tennessee 83, Wake Forest 64
@Nevada 68, Akron 62 - We're going to need to discuss Nevada possibly running the entire regular season table at some point
@Auburn 93, Murray St 88 - a tough ask for Murray to win this, but probably needed it for realistic at-large hopes
Florida St 81, St Louis 59 - a tough ask for StL, but A-10 contenders are competitive in this kind of game
Ohio St 80, UCLA 66
Georgia 70, @Georgia Tech 59
Villanova 81, UConn 58
Clemson 78, @South Carolina 68
@Arkansas 73, Texas St 70 - TSU had a shiny record; probably needed this one to entertain realistic at-large hopes
Boston College 65, @DePaul 62
@VCU 70, Wichita St 54
Penn 75, @New Mexico 65 - Penn continuing to build up an okay profile
@San Francisco 74, Stanford 65 - ok, a semi-legit win for USF.  At least they're not LMU, who lost to UC-Riverside.  That result is closer to where I think the talent level is for the WCC
@St Joseph's 45, Loyola(Chi) 42 - oy
Seton Hall 78, @Maryland 74
@San Diego St 90, BYU 81
@Kansas St 69, Vanderbilt 58
Missouri 79, Illinois 63

UNC Greensboro 83, @Samford 75 - the SoCon is underway with conference play, and I'm all over it
Montana 85, @South Dakota St 74 - Big Sky fave > Summit fave.  A surprise to me

Diamond Head:
Indiana St 72, Colorado 67 - go home Pac-12
UNLV 73, Hawaii 59
Bucknell 84, Rhode Island 82 - go home A-10
TCU 82, Charlotte 57

Las Vegas Classic:
Drake 66, New Mexico St 63
San Diego 82, Washington St 75
