B1G:
@Michigan St 90, Iowa 68 - home teams keep winning in B1G conference play. Kinda boring, and tough to have many takeaways about the league until someone breaks serve on the road
@Wisconsin 69, Rutgers 64
Niagara 71, @Pitt 70 - oof
Vermont 72, @George Mason 67

12/2 recap
B1G:
@Ohio St 79, Minnesota 59
@Nebraska 75, Illinois 60
Arizona 76, @UConn 72 - road wins are never trivial. This looks better than most think
@Missouri 64, UCF 62
@UCLA 82, Loyola Marymount 58 - LMU finally loses, and it doesn't look good
@Ohio St 79, Minnesota 59

12/1 recap
There are a million games on this day and a lot of nice wins I'm passing over.....
B1G:
@Michigan 76, Purdue 57
@Maryland 66, Penn St 59
@Indiana 68, Northwestern 66
non-con signature wins:
Gonzaga 103, @Creighton 92 - road wins are never trivial. Remember, these games matter more, disproportionally, for Gonzaga than for most teams, as piling up quality wins OOC is more important for them. GU cruising to the 1 line
Nevada 73, @USC 61 - see Gonzaga comment and basically apply it double for Nevada
@Kansas 90, Stanford 84 (OT) - is Stanford a glutton for punishment? Kind of a pretty good .500 team at this stage
@Marquette 83, Kansas St 71 - this is why road wins are gold, because they're not easy to get
@Houston 65, Oregon 61
Texas Tech 78, Memphis 67
Villanova 85, @La Salle 78 - creative accounting makes this Big 5 game a true road win for Nova
St John's 76, Georgia Tech 73
Louisville 70, @Seton Hall 65 - road win
@Green Bay 100, Belmont 92 - Belmont finally loses
NC State 80, Vanderbilt 65
@Providence 59, Rhode Island 50
@St Louis 64, Butler 52
Temple 77, @St Joseph's 70
Cincinnati 65, @UNLV 61
Yale 77, Miami 73 - played in Miami, yet seems to count as a neutral site win because this was part of a 1-day invitational? Huh?
@Wichita St 71, Baylor 63
@New Mexico St 69, Washington St 63
@Weber St 113, BYU 103 - ouch
Belfast:
Buffalo 85, San Francisco 81 - not a trivial win for a mid-major like Buffalo. They're legit at-large players this year
Stephen F Austin 66, Milwaukee 51
MWC/MVC challenge:
San Diego St 75, Illinois St 65
New Mexico 85, Bradley 75 - MWC salvages a couple road wins; Nevada needs all the help it can get from the conference

Marist 76, Dartmouth 58
LIU 80, Albany 77
Buffalo 96, Milwaukee 77
San Francisco 76, Stephen F Austin 58
@UCF 70, Alabama 64 - should hold as a quality win in March, won't hurt Bama too badly
Belmont 99, @Samford 93 (OT) - I doubt Belmont's resume will be good enough for serious at-large consideration, but hey if you never lose...

@Michigan 84, North Carolina 67 - quality win alert

Indiana St 86, @San Jose St 57 - in a major upset, SJSU actually gets mentioned this season in the blog
Valparaiso 72, @UNLV 64 - and this challenge is why Nevada isn't going to get any help from its conference when it comes to seeding
elsewhere:
@Georgetown 90, Richmond 82
@Old Dominion 62, VCU 52
Vermont 69, @George Washington 53
@Ole Miss 93, San Diego 86 - not sure if SD is good or just deceiving overall record
@Illinois St 92, BYU 89 (OT) - this shouldn't hurt BYU's overall resume, but yet others will say it did
New Mexico St 62, @UTEP 58

11/27 recap
This time of year, tough to get to a computer daily for these things. I'll play catchup through the holiday season, we'll be diligent in January on, as per usual.
B1G/ACC dick measuring contest:
@Duke 90, Indiana 69
@Louisville 82, Michigan St 78 (OT) - the difference between the 1 line and the 2 line is that 1 line teams win quality road games consistently
@Penn St 63, Virginia Tech 62 - don't overreact to "upsets" where the home team wins
@Iowa 69, Pitt 68
@Wisconsin 79, NC State 75
@Notre Dame 76, Illinois 74
MWC/MVC dick measuring contest (yup, these guys have a challenge too!):
Nevada 79, @Loyola(Chi) 65 - with the rest of the MWC struggling, I'm wondering where Nevada's seed will end up. Started ranked high, and they're delivering results. I'm very curious to see how the metrics, polls, and selection committee align on this
@Drake 83, Boise St 74
Southern Illinois 82, @Colorado St 67
