Games of the Day

Memphis @ Southern Miss
Memphis is no longer the toast of Conference USA and they really need this one to stay in the bracket. Southern Miss, led by former Iowa State coach Larry Eustacy currently has the auto-bid in the conference and looks to hang on. The original Golden Eagles were a pre-season pick of mine and like them to pull this one out as well. S. Miss 74, Memphis 68

James Madison @ Old Dominion
Both teams are currently in the bracket but James Madison needs the auto bid more. Winner stays in, loser is out. Old Dominion 61, James Madison 54

Drexel @ George Mason
Gotta love the Colonial! Both teams had solid starts to the season but have fallen on hard times. Loser of this game is probably out unless they win out. Winner keeps their at large hopes alive. George Mason 68, Drexel 67

Texas A&M @ Texas
As noted in a previous Kurly post Texas A&M had surprised a lot of people this year. A bug win at home over the weekend over Missouri has the Aggies riding high. In my mind they need this game as a big road win. Texas on the other hand has a solid but not spectacular resume. The key in conference play is to defend the home court. Texas pulls this one out in the last 10 minutes. Texas 73, Texas A&M 69
