Notable games and goings on:

Next UConn games: Sat. Nov 21st vs. Furman @ 12:00pm.

Future UConn opponents: OSU lost to UT-Arlington 73-68 (What the hell OSU, we could kind of use you as a quality opponent!), Georgetown beat Wisconsin 71-61 (That's a step in the right direction G-Town), #24 Michigan lost to Xavier 86-70 (Again, doing us no favors Michigan!)

Top 25 action tonight: #3 Maryland beat Rider 65-58 (Stone was solid off the bench, 12 pts, 5 rbs, 2 bks, 19 min, but this was a mediocre game for UM), #5 Duke beat VCU 79-71 (Duke and Grayson Allen, 30 pts, bounce back), #6 Virginia beat Long Beach St. 87-52, #8 Oklahoma beat McNesse St. 85-56 (POY Candidate Buddy Hield averaging 27 ppg early on), #11 Nova beat E Tenn St. 86-51, #13 Mich St. beat Ark-Pine Bluff 92-46 (POY Candidate Denzel Valentine didn't shoot it well but had 7 pts, 11 ast, 7 rbs, he won't still be averaging a triple-double after this one, but close to it), #16 Utah lost to Miami 90-66 (They got walloped), #20 Baylor beat Jackson St. 77-60, #25 Oregon beat Savannah St. 77-59

Our AAC chum(s): ECU lost to #15 Cal 70-62 (Woulda been another nice early win for the AAC), Tulsa beat Ohio 90-88 (A furious comeback to win for Tulsa, Shaquille Harrison has been very good early, 24.3 ppg), Temple lost to #22 Butler 74-69 (Just couldn't quite get a hold of that game the Owls are gonna be tough this year, Bond is gonna be a handful for AB again)

P5 Winners: Pitt, Bama, Arkansas, Northwestern (Had to go to OT to beat Columbia), Kansas St., WVU, Georgia (Turtle Jackson with 4 pts in 7 min), Penn St., Gamecocks beat DePaul (PJ Dozier had 7 pts, 2 rbs, 2 stls; Cleveland Melvin had 10 pts, jk but didn't it seem like he was there for forever?), Texas Tech beat Miss St. (NEWMAN! 17 pts, 5 rbs, 4 ast, Howland 1-3 early), Auburn, Colorado, Ole Miss, Minnesota, Washington St.

P5 Upsets: FSU lost to Hofstra (XRM in his freshmen season was very up and down, this was one of those down games, 10 pts, 4 rbs, 4 ast, 4-14 fg), Ok St. lost to George Mason

Other Notes: Seton Hall beat Bradley (Khadeen Carrington is scoring the ball, albeit inefficiently)

Mark your calendars: 11/20/15 was a day Cal gave the media an out-of-character moment of clarity and honesty. After UK's game today (paraphrasing, leaving filler out):

"... Casual play.... 9 assists, 12 turnovers.... did that look like the no. 2 team in the country? There must be 20 teams better than us right now."

Seemingly lost for what to do when the conductor of their biggest hype train pumps the brakes, ESPN silently and quickly shuffles on to the next game recap.

Side note: his team still got bailed the duck out by the refs, shooting 20+ more free throws.
