Thursday Update

Last Night’s games

A couple teams did themselves no favors last night both at the top and bottom of the bracket.  Marquette has now lost 3 games in a row and has dropped from a 3 to a 5 seed.  Facing a 14 seed versus a 12 seed is a huge deal.  Florida lost a tough games against LSU but that won’t hurt much.  Baylor and Ohio State on the other hand suffered bad losses.  Ohio State is now an 11 seed with little room for error.  Clemson and Seton Hall got wins to remain in.  North Carolina State and Georgetown, both First Four out, lost, with the Hoyas getting destroyed by DePaul.  You should never get destroyed by DePaul.

Tonight’s Bubble games:

Temple (12) vs UConn

Temple is a 12 seed and one of my last 4 in.  A road win at Connecticut would be a nice little win to boost the resume and hold off Alabama, Creighton, and North Carolina State.

Indiana (NF) vs Illinois

This is the exact kind of game Indiana tends to lose.  They need tonight, the weekend, and at least 1, if not 2 win in the conference tournament to be considered

Atlantic Sun Semi-Finals

Lipscomb (11) vs NJIT

Questionable at-large hopes probably die with a loss tonight.  Win tonight and we’ll talk at-large before the conference tournament final.

Liberty (NF) vs North Florida

Liberty probably needs to win the auto-bid but I have to track 8 teams currently not in the bracket and they fall right around 7-8 out.
