Thursday's Action!

 

North Carolina was the big loser last night.  Took a chance on a home game versus Marquette and came up short.  I still have them as my last team in but that’s by a thread.  Who are they playing in First Four according to my bracket?  Fellow Blue Blood Indiana, who also lost last night.  Quite the battle brewing for those last couple spots with Duke and Michigan State right there.

Tonight's big game is Iowa vs Michigan but we have some bubble action too.  Western Kentucky has a gift game against Houston.  They are in my Next Four out but a win here is probably enough to leap several teams.  Boise State plays San Diego State and while both teams are in they don’t have a lot of room for error.  I currently have 3 Mountain West teams in and Utah State as my first team out.  I feel like they end up with 3 in March but best to keep winning.   Speaking of Michigan State, they get another shot at a huge win with Ohio State tonight.  They are coming on strong and no matter what the committee says, a big win at the end of the season just does mean more.

Also in action tonight is Minnesota who is falling like a lead balloon and needs to string some wins together to get back on track.  Lastly is Mid-Major Belmont, who is currently 24-1 and leading the Ohio Valley.  Their resume is a bit bare but it’s a unique year.  If they go undefeated in conference until their tournament and lose will it be enough?
