The biggest news of the night was Auburn getting beat by Texas A&M. Auburn stays the 1.1 seed, well ahead of Duke and Houston. BYU continues their hot streak by beating Iowa State on the road.
In Bubble-Land all of the 11 seeds won while the 10 seeds split. Indiana was the big loser on the positive side of the bracket but probably only shift down into an 11 seed with West Virginia moving up.
On the outside of the bracket North Carolina looked dominate against VaTech, Texas got a much needed win, and SMU hung on. In the battle of the First Four out, Ohio State took one off Nebraska and those teams flip places. Villanova lost and are going to need an Auto-Bid while Colorado State looks to be considered.
Tonight we have more good games then bubble games. Maryland plays Michigan, Marquette plays UConn, Tennessee plays Mississippi, and the best is Florida at Alabama. Those are all top 7 seeded teams playing each other with the last one being a banger.
Bubble Games of note include 2 from inside the bracket and 2 from outside.
10-Oklahoma hosts Missouri
11-Xavier travels to Butler
FF-Cincinnati hosts Kansas State
NF-Pittsburgh goes to North Carolina State
Oklahoma can probably afford a loss here but Xavier falls out with a loss. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are on thin ice already and need the win.
