We’re in a fight, once again, for an NCAA bid. Obviously a win over Purdue today would do wonders at getting us safety into the field.
Assuming that doesn’t happen, the other games that will most impact our March Madness chances:
Kentucky @ Florida - 1:00pm - as much as it sucks to cheer for Kentucky a Florida win would almost certainly put them ahead of us in the bubble.
Virginia Tech (-3) @ Clemson - 1:00pm - if the Hokies win on the road they would also likely pass us on the seed line.
Loyola (-4) vs Northern Iowa - 2:30pm - MVC semifinal. Both teams are currently in the field but I imagine the loser is a goner, for good. Probably would want UNI to win this one as Loyola could squeak in by making the final?
Oregon at Washington State (-2)- 3:00pm - The Ducks are behind us in the pecking order but an Oregon loss would almost certainly knock them out of the field.
Georgetown at Xavier (-12.5) - 6:00pm - An upset by Georgetown would knock X off the bubble.
BYU (+2.5) vs. San Francisco - 9:00pm - west coast conference quarterfinals. At this point SF seems to somehow be in the field? BYU is in the log jam right there with us and a loss would knock them to the NIT.
