AAC teams
Memphis @ South Florida - Rooting for a full-on Memphis meltdown at this point.
UConn @ Cincinnati - Cinci win keeps both teams on pace for 12-6.

OOC Opponents
Ohio vs. Miami (OH) - Ohio has quietly become our 2nd best OOC win.
Central Arkansas @ Sam Houston State - 6 wins all year. Which is still twice as many as...
Northern Arizona vs. Weber State - Winning in Flagstaff was likely the highlight of Wojcik's first season.
UALR @ Georgia Southern - Yooler is another sneaky bid thief. We need them to just win the Sun Belt autobid.
Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech - Tech has at least 2 more losses on their schedule. OSU could help us tremendously by adding a 3rd.
Oregon State @ Oregon - Maybe the toughest OOC opponent to root for. They're also squarely on the bubble and they beat us heads up.
South Carolina vs Florida - Maybe the biggest game of the day for us. If Florida loses to South Carolina and Kentucky, their resume is strikingly similar to ours.

Other bubble teams (early games)
Vanderbilt vs. Georgia - Vandy is a Vegas darling. It's in our best interest if they keep losing close games and just make themselves favorites to win the NIT.
Georgetown vs. Xavier - Georgetown is a serious longshot, but their schedule provides an opportunity to pick up 3 top 10 wins. I'd rather avoid that.
Dayton vs. St. Bonaventure - Bonnies probably played their way out with a loss to La Salle on Wednesday, but a win at Dayton would carry serious weight.
Syracuse vs. Pittsburgh - Can both teams lose?
Davidson vs St Joseph's - St Joe's is probably safe after their win over Dayton, but it's a profile that could quickly crumble with a couple losses.
Alabama vs Mississippi St - Bama has worked their way into first 4 out.
Butler @ Villanova - Butler is squarely on the bubble. A loss won't hurt them, but a win would make them a lock.
 
Memphis is a train wreck right now. They're making USF look like an AAC contender.
 
Real dilemma developing for Memphis fans. They've got $500k on the line if they don't average 6500 for the last 2 games. Do you show up just to boo Pastner?
 
Lol @ Memphis.

Cinci is going to heat UCONN by at least 10. Coach Sportsmanship said so.

Either way. Wasn't he in the proclaimers before that?
 
Other bubble teams (late games)
Florida St @ Virginia Tech - FSU has lost 3 in a row and are still very bubbly.
LSU @ Tennessee - LSU is another 10-loss team that keeps hanging around because they get so many opportunities to pick up top 50 wins.
St Mary's @ Gonzaga - Hard to figure who to root for here. Both of these teams are on the fringe.
Washington vs Stanford - Even with 11 losses, Washington is still showing up in brackets thanks to wins over Texas, USC, and Colorado.
 
South Carolina win was big for us. Florida stuck on 2 top 50 wins with only Kentucky left.
Georgetown is officially toast with 14 losses.
St Bonaventure win puts them right back on the bubble. Dayton is doing their best to get the rest of the A-10 in. They're going to be an awfully weak 6 seed thanks to an artificially inflated RPI.
 
Pretty good day overall. TU was first 4 out on Bracket Matrix at the start of the day. Florida St (first 4 out), LSU (first 4 out), Clemson (next 4 out), Butler (11), Oregon State (11), Gonzaga (11), Alabama (10), UConn (9), Florida (8), Syracuse (8), St. Joseph's (8) all lost.

Need to take care of our own business tomorrow.
