All Is Well Today

Great game between Duke and North Carolina and it ended the perfect way.  Carolina’s lack of outside shooting showed through and now they’ve lost 4 of the their last 5.  Speaking of losing, Syracuse topped Louisville and they’ve lost 3 of their last 4.  Both UNC and Louisville have dropped to a 5 seed.

Outside the ACC Xavier beat Cincinnati and flip spots with each other in the bracket.  UCLA lost to a game Arizona State squad and falls to one of the last 2 in.  Oregon, Boise State, Tulsa, and Rhode Island all picked up big wins to keep the pressure on UCLA and Purdue for those last precious spots.


Tonight has a couple bubble games worth noting.  Purdue, who is our last team in, travels to Indiana, and has a chance to get a solid road win to boast it’s resume.  Iowa hosts Rutgers and needs to right their ship.  I have them lower than most as that mid-50’s RPI is holding them back.  Old Dominion plays Middle Tennessee State and they are running out of chances.  A loss tonight puts them in the Also Considered.  In the WCC both BYU and St. Mary’s need to continue to win to stay in the at-large conversation.
