Tonight's Bubble Watch

Illinois at Iowa
It’s Iowa’s last stand.  They need to win out until the Big Ten championship for a chance.  Illinois looks secure but a win tonight probably makes them a lock

St. John’s at Notre Dame
The Johnnies suspended their top scorer so there’s little hope for a upset.  A loss and their bubble will have burst.

Southern Miss at Marshall
The original Golden Eagles have to be licking their chops as all the SEC bubble teams lose.  I have them as the first team out but their resume just isn’t that good outside of RPI.  Best to keep on winning.

Miami (OH) at Akron
Akron currently has the MAC auto-bid but their room for error just got smaller with a loss at Buffalo.  It would be in their best interest to win the MAC Championship and leave no doubt

Arkansas at Missouri
Last chance for Arkansas to secure a signature road win.  Without one they are NIT bound

Alabama at Mississippi
This might be an elimination game for both teams.  A win by either keeps them around for at least a couple more days

Boise St at UNLV
Boise State’s last second revival looks to continue at UNLV.  This should be a great matchup and if they can spring the upset they just might secure a bid.
