Saturday's games:
#1 Kansas @ Oklahoma State - Oklahoma will be lock status if they can pull off the upset.
Cincinnati @ #7 WVU - Cincy is on life support. They desperately need this game.
Notre Dame @ #13 Georgetown - Can ND knock off two Top 25 teams in a row?
Boston College @ Georgia Tech - Georgia Tech needs to stop the bleeding.
Tulane @ UAB - No reason UAB should lose this one.
Rhode Island @ St Bonaventure - Ditto.
Arizona State @ California - Huge game in the P10. CAL has a terrible resume besides their RPI and SOS.
UNLV @ Air Force - UNLV should win.
Florida @ Georgia - Ditto for Florida.
Maryland @ Virginia Tech - Huge bubble game in the ACC. VT needs this game more than Maryland.
VCU @ Old Dominion - Once bubble hopeful VCU looks to spoil Old Dom's at-large chances.
Minnesota @ Illinois - Minnesota suffered a heartbreaker against Purdue. Any thread of hope is gone with a loss @Illinois.
Charlotte @ George Washington - Charlotte needs this win.
Miss State @ South Carolina - Miss State is struggling.
UMass @ Dayton - Dayton needs more A10 wins.
Loyola Marymount @ St Mary's - St Mary's doesn't control their own destiny. They are hoping for other bubble teams to falter. If they lose, it wont matter what the bubble does.
Washington @ Washington State - Must win for the Huskies.
Sunday's games:
Marquette @ Seton Hall - SHU desperately needs this game. They could potentially hurdle Marquette with the win.
Louisville @ UConn - Huge game. Louisville has a brutal BE stretch, they probably need this more.
Clemson @ Florida State - 2 relatively even teams in the ACC. I say that Clemson needs this one more.
