Wednesday In Review
#27 Colorado State wins @ Nevada -- If Rams win in Logan on Saturday, that'll probably be enough.
#29 Oregon wins @ Oregon State -- Ducks join the "lock" list.
#30 Michigan State beats #63 Purdue -- Gritty Sparty locks up a NCAA bid by coming from behind without Branden Dawson. Boilers not dead by any means, but to stay in contention they need to beat Illinois and at least one quality opponent in Chicago.
#31 Ohio State wins @ Penn State -- I'm a "Big Ten guy" so I want to lock the Buckeyes in, but I just can't do it with that 1-5 record vs. the RPI top 50 and a bad non-conference SOS rank (#203).
#33 Cincinnati wins @ #46 Tulsa -- Bearcats probably safe now, but I'm stubborn so like VCU let's make 'em seal the deal with 1 more win.
#34 Saint John's wins @ Marquette -- Congratulations to one of the good guys in the coaching profession, Steve Lavin, your Johnnies are now a lock.
#39 Oklahoma State beats TCU -- Cowboys a lock if they win @ West Virginia on Saturday.
#50 UCLA beats USC -- Bruins' regular season is done, work left to do in Las Vegas @ Pac 12 Tournament.
#54 Richmond wins @ Massachusetts -- Spiders' sweep of VCU keeping them in the mix.
#55 LSU loses to Tennessee -- Critical but not fatal home loss to Vols. Johnny Jones should be getting a lot more out of this talented team.
#59 Illinois beats Nebraska -- Up next? At Purdue. Me like Big Ten bubble battles.
#65 Miami-Florida wins @ #60 Pitt -- It'll be awfully hard now for Panthers to get at-large bid after losing bubble battle on home court.
Thursday on the Bubble (VCU can join "lock" list)
#42 Temple @ East Carolina, 6 (ESPNU) -- Owls' resume is decent but not great. Can't afford to slip here.
Wisconsin @ #78 GOPHERS, 6 (ESPN) -- This is it, Gophers' last stand. Nothing says "Don't count us out just yet" like beating a potential #1 seed.
Marshall @ #41 Old Dominion, 7 -- Monarchs were given up for dead, but they're not by any stretch.
#17 VCU @ #44 Davidson, 8 (ESPNU) -- Rams as close to lock as can be but will make them win 1 more game, though not likely they'll need it. DC in search of at-large bid in 1st year as member of A-10.
Memphis @ #70 Connecticut, 8 (ESPN2) -- Defending champs snuck onto the bubble with win over SMU. Can they stay on it?
#56 Stanford @ Arizona State, 10 (FS1) -- Cardinal fading into the sunset. Don't be surprised if the Sun Devils deliver the knockout punch.
