11/28 recap (With a quick correction on the Acrisure Invitational)

Let me point out the mistake before you guys do: Yesterday I said that Santa Clara had defeated Saint Louis in the Acrisure Invitational, when in fact it was the Billikens that defeated the Broncos. My apologies. So how did it go for both teams?
Well, Santa Clara had fun as they took out their anger on poor Minnesota. As for Saint Louis... well, you'll have to ask them how their game against Stanford went.

With all of that cleared up, here's what else happened yesterday:
