There were some solid games last night but also some questionable losses. Illinois gave away a 9 point lead and lost at Penn State, Dayton lost at George Mason, and surprisingly, or maybe not surprising, Kentucky lost to LSU. These are all seed line loses at a minimum right now.
As for the bubble, Cincinnati had a costly loss at home to Oklahoma State. They are in a freefall. Providence got a nice win at Xavier and at 13-13 we can cross the Musketeers off. Mississippi State won the battle of Mississippi and Ole Miss will probably drop out on tomorrow's bracket.
Getting solid bubble wins to stay relevant were Drake, Memphis, and St. John's.
Tonight is a little slim with the headliners being Rutgers at Purdue and Washington State at Arizona. Let's see how these projected number 1 seeds do especially after Purdue lost on Sunday.
A sneaky good game is SMU at FAU as FAU has been slow all year and SMU has at least a punchers chance at an at-large. Also in action are Northwestern, Gonzaga, and Oregon....all at various points on the bubble.
