![]() ![]() Obviously, cheer for them to lose.ĩ:00 PM West Virginia at (23) Oklahoma ESPNU UD is clinging tenuously to a tournament berth a win here would do wonders for their positioning. Dayton has a chance to compound their pain if they can get a win on the Billikens' home floor tonight. Saint Lou has come crashing back to earth after briefly being a media darling. Dropping to a fellow tournament team isn't too damaging, but there are no good losses at this point for either of these teams.ĩ:00 PM Dayton at (17) Saint Louis CBS Sports Network These teams are both hanging around that 8/9 level right now, where the wrong combination of results can send you into a bad matchup or a home game in the NIT. A loss to Ole Miss - who is wavering around the 100 mark in RPI - would be a big step towards the same fate for Arkansas.ĩ:00 PM Saint Joseph's at George WashingtonĪnother thing I don't miss about the Atlantic Ten: pivotal matchups with no meaningful television coverage. I'll be honest in saying that I've never actually seen the film, but I think he ended up drowning. Arkansas, on the other hand, is still clinging to the bottom of the bracket like the dude Leo DiCaprio played in Titanic. Ole Miss, whom I live fervently due to Marshall Henderson, is dead and buried. On the other hand, a win for Indiana would give them three in a row heading to a potentially marquee matchup Pick your poison here, but Nebraska is in bold for now. A win for them would put the Cornhuskers right back in the last four/first four discussions. Indiana is suddenly collecting buzz after a good week, but Nebraska is closer to pilfering an at-large bid at this point. You know the drill: pull against the teams in bold.ħ:00 PM Nebraska at Indiana Big Ten Network Today, as it seems every day in March so far, is not lacking for bubble matchups. The Ducks led 33-25 at the half before holding on through a second half that featured 105 total points of scoring. With Xavier undoubtedly needing a bit of help now, neither of these games did them any favors.įinally, bubble hopeful Oregon won a barn burner against Arizona State. The Eagles could've done Xavier a favor by knocking off the Seminoles, but FSU hung on behind 26/6/2 from Aaron Thomas and took just as big of a step as Providence did. Bryce Cotton easily tied him up, Providence had the arrow, Derrick Wilson fouled Cotton on the inbound pass, and goodbye Marquette.Īs I was watching that game, I didn't see the end of Florida St against Boston College. The ball was inbounded to him and he instantly hunched over it like a child in a playground game. Marquette led with 9.3 seconds left and the ball, but made the mistake of asking Jake Thomas to do anything other than look goofy and jack a three. Once the ball goes up, any win is better than any loss, but you're not going to be pulling weight with the committee by sneaking by mediocre basketball teams.Īnd speaking of sneaking wins, Providence blew an 11 point lead before eventually getting a win in double OT. In later tip times, Clemson eked out a victory over Miami (FL). Bubble math is all about showing the committee what you have that the other guys don't now both of those teams have picked up something that makes what Xavier has look just a hair more common. Suddenly the bloom is off that particular rose just a bit. Georgetown made it worse by not only beating a ranked team but beating the same ranked team that Xavier beat over the weekend. ![]() Baylor picked up a a strong win against Iowa State.
