Today's Bubble Games

Illinois – Michigan State

Can Illinois stop the free fall? No, they are not supposed to win this game but it would go a long way to keeping them in the bracket. A loss and they are probably replaced by one of the last 4 out.

Penn State – Iowa
Neither are in, or close but Iowa can’t afford to lose any easy games at 2-5 in the Big Ten.

Butler – St. Louis
St. Louis is one of those last 4 out that could take Illinois spot should they lose. The Billikins need to defend their home court for a big RPI boosting win

Arizona – Washington
Another team not close to being in, the Huskies that is. A win would do wonders for their computer numbers and probably at least get them to the final 4-8 out instead of the Also Considered bucket.

Arizona State – Washington State
ASU is currently one of the First Four Out. A road win against Wazzou won’t do much for their profile but a loss would be devastating.
