Weekend Preview

Mid-major teams for bubble teams to follow:

Butler - LOCK even if they lose.

Northern Iowa - Relatively safe if they lose. Beat Drake in their first game.

Gonzaga/St Mary's - Gonzaga is a lock if they lose, St Mary's is likely OUT if they do (depending on opponent).

Old Dominion - Similar case to Northern Iowa.

Saturday:

Seton Hall @ Providence - Must win game for Seton Hall.

#1 Syracuse @ Louisville - Louisville can lock up a bid with a win, a loss and they still have to sweat it out.

#13 Tennessee @ Miss State - Miss State is done with a loss.

Cincinnati @ #20 Georgetown - Cincinnati is done with a loss.

UAB @ #21 UTEP - UAB has been relatively safe all year. Another loss and they are in serious trouble.

Tulsa @ Memphis - Memphis needs more wins.

UConn @ USF - UConn has an unusual resume. They can't afford more losses.

Notre Dame @ Marquette - Huge BE bubble game. Can ND keep playing out of their minds?

Ole Miss @ Arkansas - Must win for Ole Miss.

Virginia Tech @ Georgia Tech - Big bubble game in the ACC. Both teams need wins.

Rhode Island @ UMass - Must win for Rhodie.

Wyoming @ UNLV - Ditto for UNLV.

UCLA @ Arizona State - Arizona State can't afford any more losses, they are on thin ice.

California @ Stanford - If CAL was to lose in the P10 tournament, they need as many wins as they can get.

St Louis @ Dayton - St Louis was a nice story for awhile, but I doubt Dayton cares. They are in murky water right now.

Washington @ Oregon State - Must win for the Huskies.

San Diego State @ Air Force - Ditto for San Diego State.

Sunday:

Florida @ #3 Kentucky - Huge game for Florida. They are on a small slide, a win @Kentucky would do wonders.

#17 Wisconsin @ Illinois - Illinois really likes to test the bubble. They can't keep racking up losses.

Clemson @ Wake Forest - Clemson is pretty much a lock, something Wake Forest once was. They are in a huge slump.
