Friday Update

As much as I am not a huge fan of Friday Night basketball, tonight has a couple games worth watching. 

First, Michigan State plays Ohio State where both teams are currently in the bracket.  Ohio State needs to hold serve at home.

The other two games of note involve the 2 "Good" Wisconsin teams.  The Badgers host Iowa who always gives them fits.  The second game involves National Title Contender Marquette hosting Creighton.  Creighton had high hopes at the beginning of the season but now need every win they can get.
