signature wins:
Oregon 71, @Michigan 70 (OT) - signature road wins are worth a full seed line, I would guess
Gonzaga 84, @Arizona 80 - Gonzaga's looking really, really good for the 1 line out west
Memphis 51, @Tennessee 47 - signature road wins matter a lot
dumb losses:
@Rutgers 68, Seton Hall 48 - I don't care if it was a road game, it's still a dumb loss
Colgate 67, @Cinncinnati 66 - need to recalibrate my expectations for the AAC
stuff:
@Kentucky 67, Georgia Tech 53
Auburn 67, St Louis 61 - a better win than most would realize
Michigan St 72, Oakland 49 - creative accounting - this is a neutral site win
@Wake Forest 80, Xavier 78 - a modest upset
Mississippi St 67, Kansas St 61
@Georgetown 89, Syracuse 79
@Arkansas 98, Tulsa 79
@Penn St 73, Alabama 71
@Notre Dame 75, UCLA 61
@Wichita St 80, Oklahoma 75
@New Mexico 69, New Mexico St 62
@Arizona St 79, Georgia 59
Liberty 61, @Vanderbilt 56 - ok time to get serious about Liberty and at-large talk, I think
St Mary's 89, @Cal 77 - road wins are never trivial
BYU 68, Utah St 64 - that might hurt USU a bit. At-large not a lock. And it really, really helps BYU

12/13 recap
Colorado 56, Colorado St 48 - looks like a neutral site win
B1G:
@Indiana 96, Nebraska 90 (OT) - if you beat Nebraska in overtime, did you really win?
Really light night here.

non-con:
Iowa 84, Iowa St 68 - goes down as a neutral site win
Northern Iowa 82, @Grand Canyon 58 - I'd just like to take this space to mention the travesty that is the Iowa state series. ISU/Iowa used to play UNI/Drake yearly, and now they don't, and instead of just not doing it, they hided behind the guise of the yearly ISU/Iowa series. Go to hell
There were only 6 games this night. Rant over.

B1G:
@Illinois 71, Michigan 62 - I think one adjustment we're all going to have to make: most bubble teams will have a signature road win on the resume. We'll have to adjust accordingly. Bubble teams will need more than 1, or other resume features. One win won't be enough. Seeing an abundance of these wins already
@Rutgers 72, Wisconsin 65 - I mean, if Rutgers is getting one, EVERYONE is getting one
non-con:
Yale 83, @UMass 80
@South Carolina 90, UNC Asheville 85 (OT) - just a reminder that USC isn't good
@Missouri St 75, Arkansas St 53
@Tulsa 69, Boise St 56

Signature wins:
Texas Tech 70, Louisville 57 - goes down as a signature win on a neutral site
@Penn St 76, Maryland 69 - wait, do we have to take Penn St seriously now?
@Baylor 53, Butler 52 - should hold up as a signature win even it it was at home. Big 12 now really looking good at the top
Northern Iowa 79, @Colorado 76 - and now UNI has a signature win that they can build an at-large resume around
Indiana 57, UConn 54

@Florida St 72, Clemson 53
B1G:
@Michigan St 77, Rutgers 65
@Purdue 58, Northwestern 44
signature non-con wins:
Gonzaga 83, @Washington 76 - I have a feeling we'll spend the entire season giving Gonzaga the 1 seed out west again. With this road win in hand, not sure I see how they fail to get there eventually
@Iowa St 76, Seton Hall 66
Dayton 78, St Mary's 68 - there's a neutral site win, in a game of 2 teams that desperately needed it to avoid having to deal with the bubble in a few months
other non-con:
Houston 76, @South Carolina 56
St Louis 86, Tulane 62 - should end up being a decent neutral site win
Wichita St 80, @Oklahoma St 61 - road wins, etc etc
Texas 60, Texas A&M 50
Buffalo 74, @DePaul 69 - FINALLY someone puts an end to this DePaul nonsense
Liberty 70, Grand Canyon 61 - wait, Liberty is undefeated?
