Day one of the Wooden Legacy is in the books, and plenty of interesting things happened, including the Arizona Wildcats narrowly avoiding the upset of the season. The most historic of the things that happened though was Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo earning his 500th career win in a blowout of Boston College. Denzel Valentine also notched a triple-double in that game, and the Spartans will face Boise State on Friday after the Broncos beat UC-Irvine
- On Arizona's side of the bracket, Providence got by a pesky Evansville team, and did so with more than just Kris Dunn, although the All-American Friar looked like he could do some serious damage to the Wildcats.
