1/18 recap

B1G:
@Maryland 57, Purdue 50
@Penn St 90, Ohio St 76 - good luck to the committee trying to parse out how much home court should be worth in this conference
@Illinois 75, Northwestern 71
Indiana 82, @Nebraska 74

Big 12:
Baylor 75, @Oklahoma St 68
Kansas 66, @Texas 57 - I'm not sure if the conference can provide enough resume value to put 2 teams on the 1 line, but it's in play
@Kansas St 84, West Virginia 68 - the type of game that 1 or 2 seeds don't lose, but 4 or 5 seeds drop every once in awhile.  You can tell where I think WVU is trending
@Texas Tech 72, Iowa St 52
@Oklahoma 83, TCU 63

ACC:
Louisville 79, @Duke 73 - signature road win, and it's clearly UL with the best chance at the 1 line in this conference now
Florida St 83, @Miami 79 - at the least, FSU is making sure it's a 3-team breakaway at the top of this conference
@Pitt 66, UNC 52 - lol
Syracuse 71, @Virginia Tech 69 - kind of a dumb home loss
@NC State 60, Clemson 54
Virginia 63, @Georgia Tech 58

SEC:
@Florida 69, Auburn 47 - that's a weird blowout to me
Kentucky 73, @Arkansas 66
South Carolina 81, @Texas A&M 67
@Alabama 88, Missouri 74
Tennessee 66, @Vandy 45
LSU 80, @Ole Miss 76
@Mississippi St 91, Georgia 59

Big East:
@DePaul 79, Butler 66 - not a place you want to spend a road loss at.  The rest of the conference is tough enough as is
@Villanova 61, UConn 55 - well it might as well be a conference game already
Seton Hall 82, @St John's 79
@Creighton 78, Providence 74
Marquette 84, @Georgetown 80

Pac-12:
Oregon 64, @Washington 61 (OT)
@Arizona 75, Colorado 54
@Washington St 89, Oregon St 76
@USC 82, Stanford 78 (OT) - starting to think both teams will be fine long-term
@Arizona St 83, Utah 64

AAC:
Houston 65, @Wichita St 54 - quality road win should breathe some life into this resume
@SMU 68, Temple 52

A-10:
@VCU 91, St Bonaventure 63
Richmond 97, @George Mason 87 - instincts are telling me Richmond>VCU>everyone else, behind Dayton

WCC:
@Gonzaga 92, BYU 69 - goodness, Gonzaga
St Mary's 78, @Pepperdine 69

elsewhere:
@San Diego St 68, Nevada 55
Northern Iowa 86, @Bradley 71
@Boise St 88, Utah St 83 (OT) - yeah, we're probably done with USU now
