Winners:
TCU over Baylor — In a true bubble clash, TCU grabbed a crucial résumé win that nudges the Horned Frogs toward the right side of the cut line while Baylor slips further into “must-win” territory.
Auburn over Florida — Auburn’s win adds another quality result that steadies its tournament position, while Florida takes a hit that tightens its margin for staying in the protected-seed range.
North Carolina over Virginia — North Carolina’s comeback strengthens its seed-line case and keeps upward pressure on the top half of the bracket, as Virginia absorbs a damaging loss in the crowded middle of the field.
Losers:
George Mason at Rhode Island — As the last team in the field, George Mason’s road loss is a résumé killer that likely drops the Patriots out of the bracket and onto the wrong side of the bubble.
Virginia Tech vs Louisville — Virginia Tech’s loss further thins an already-fragile résumé, cementing the Hokies’ position in the First Four Out range with dwindling chances to recover.
Georgia at Texas — With a non-conference strength of schedule north of 250, Georgia couldn’t afford this loss, which sharply damages its at-large profile and pushes the Bulldogs toward the edge of the bubble.
