Tuesday Bubble Talk

 
Duke got a big win over Syracuse and will move from Next Four out to First Four out.  They need to continue to win to remain in the conversation.  It’s becoming clear they are a better team without Jalen Johnson regardless of what Twitter or ESPN is telling you.
 
Tonight we have a couple games of interest in the bubble.  Michigan State could get a big resume boost with a win over potential one seed, Illinois.  St. Louis plays VCU and both of those teams are in the 10-12 seed range.  Connecticut is my last team in and plays Georgetown.  No room for error there.
 
Also in action tonight are a couple teams outside and looking to remain in the conversation; St. John’s and Richmond, I’m looking at you.
