"Bracket Buster" Recap, Big Saturday Ahead

Winners:
Florida - Only won by 8, going to have to play better if they want to be in the Dance.
Dayton - Stopped their skid with a must win.
St Mary's - Hanging on for dear life..
Northern Iowa - Very nice win over Old Dom, should be a lock now.
Cornell - Huge win over Harvard. Unless they lose to Princeton, they should have the Ivy wrapped up.

Losers:
Ole Miss - Close loss to Vandy, they needed that one..
Marquette - Miss out on a quality win once again.
Washington - 3 point loss to USC, desperately needed that one.
Old Dominion - Lose a respectable game at UNI.
William & Mary - Bad loss to Iona. Tournament chances are pretty much gone now.

Tomorrow's games:
Siena vs #13 Butler (11AM ESPN2) - Siena is a bubble-out team (IMO) if they lose in their conference tournament. This game would definitely help their resume.
Seton Hall @ #8 WVU (Noon ESPN) - Huge game for the possibly Hazell-less Pirates. A win against Top 10 WVU in Morgantown would work wonders for their resume.
Florida vs Ole Miss (Noon CBS) - Huge bubble game in the SEC. Loser might be bubble-out come tournament time. Florida is going into the hardest part of their schedule.
St John's vs South Florida (12PM ESPN360) - USF cant afford any more losses. St Johns has 2 players suspended which will help the Bull's case.
Northeastern vs Louisiana Tech (1PM ESPN2) - Northeastern is a fringe bubble team at best.
#22 Baylor vs Oklahoma State (130PM ESPN360) - Both teams are sitting pretty, but Ok State could use the win more.
Georgia Tech vs Maryland (2PM ESPN360) - GT has been slipping, big game for Maryland as well.
Xavier vs Charlotte (2PM) - Charlotte's chances are getting slimmer by the day, they need this win.
Louisville vs Depaul (2PM ESPNU) - Louisville has really righted the ship over the last week+, they cant let another bad loss on their resume.
Illinois vs #4 Purdue (4PM ESPN) - Illinois attempted to notch a huge win on their resume against OSU but got trounced. How about Purdue?
Miss St vs LSU (4PM ESPN360) - Miss State can't lose this game.
UTEP vs Tulsa (4PM) - Tulsa's bubble chances have gone down the toilet, are they going to bring down C-USA leading UTEP with them?
Fordham vs Rhode Island (4PM) - Rhode Island hasn't look good lately, a loss to Fordham would be disastrous.
Rutgers vs UConn (4PM ESPNU360) - Rutgers is playing the best they have all season, look out, UConn.
Virginia vs Clemson (4PM ESPN) - Virginia lost their bubble spot over the last week, Clemson is right on the bubble.
Missouri vs Nebraska (6PM ESPN360) - Missouri needs to get on a little run before they play KState.
Colorado St vs UNLV (6PM) - UNLV went from a lock, to a "watch your back" lately, they need to right the ship.
George Washington vs Richmond (7PM) - Richmond is nearly a lock, time for them to seal the deal.
Houston vs UAB (8PM) - Must win for UAB.
San Diego State vs Utah (9PM) -
Both teams are pretty hot, San Diego State needs the win.
Washington vs UCLA (9PM ESPN) - Washington's bubble chances took a huge hit when they lost to USC, can't afford to lose here.
Wichita State vs Utah State (Midnight ESPN2) - Both teams are bubble-out teams at this point if they don't win the conference tournaments.
