-NORTH CAROLINA V BUTLER (Battle 4 Atlantis). Both teams come into this 3-0 and although UNC is highly ranked, neither have really been tested yet. Butler has come out of nowhere and done well in exempt tournaments before, and that fact alone has me interested in this one tomorrow.
-DENVER AT BELMONT. I don’t think either team is likely to end up inside the bubble, but both are expected to do well in their conferences and they each come in with just one loss.
-NORTHEASTERN AT UMASS (Hall of Fame Tip-Off). Northeastern has already managed a win at Florida State. If they can pick up another one it’ll go a long way toward them not needing to win their conference tournament to make the NCAAs.
-OKLAHOMA V UCLA (Battle 4 Atlantis). Oklahoma blew a big lead at Creighton in their only loss, but they’ll have several chances at notable wins in this tournament, as will UCLA, who comes in unbeaten.
-COASTAL CAROLINA V UL MONROE (Battle 4 Atlantis, non-bracketed). Both these teams enter with just one loss, and Monroe’s was a close game at Florida. Coastal is expected to win the Big South, so it should be an interesting game. I don’t expect either to end up inside the bubble, but they’ll both remain on our radar if they keep winning.
-PURDUE V BYU (Maui Invitational). Both teams have just one loss, and although I expect Purdue to taper off, BYU is a quality team and if they can pick up this win away from home it would be an early season statement win.
-SAN FRANCISCO V EVANSVILLE (Cancun Challenge). Both teams have just one loss and could use another win away from home.
-UAB V WISCONSIN (Battle 4 Atlantis). UAB has not looked good at all this year, and they’re probably in way over their heads against a Final Four caliber team.
-DELAWARE STATE AT IONA. No real solid wins for Iona yet, but a win does get them to 4-1.
-DAVIDSON AT UCF. Not expecting much out of either team, but Davidson has just one loss and UCF is currently unbeaten.
-RICHMOND AT NC STATE. NC State comes in at 4-0, and Richmond has just one loss. Neither has been strongly tested yet, though.
-SAINT JOHN’S V MINNESOTA (Preseason NIT). The Johnnies are unbeaten, but really haven’t looked that good. Minney has won three in a row since losing their opener to Louisville, but this is probably their toughest test since the Louisville game.
-KANSAS STATE V PITTSBURGH. Both teams looked better than I thought they would yesterday despite the fact that both lost. It should turn out to be a notable win on a neutral floor for whoever pulls it out.
-FGCU VS GREEN BAY (Gulf Coast Showcase). We didn’t think much of this tournament, but it has given us some exciting games, and we have another one tonight between two teams that could end up inside the bubble. Seeing as how both have limited opportunities at statement wins, this is really important for both teams.
-GONZAGA V GEORGIA (Preseason NIT). Gonzaga has looked awesome this year, but this is their first true road test. Georgia has won three straight since dropping the opener at Georgia Tech. They’re likely way overmatched, but it would be a huge statement win if they pulled off the upset.
-GEORGETOWN V FLORIDA (Battle 4 Atlantis). Both these teams should end up way inside the bubble, so it would be a quality win away from home for whoever pulls it off.
-NORTHWESTERN V NORTHERN IOWA (Cancun Challenge). Both teams come into this 5-0, and Northern Iowa already has a few noticeable wins. Not many people are excited about Northwestern and no one they’ve played is anywhere close to as good as we think Northern Iowa is, but a win today could really give them some much needed momentum.
-RADFORD V TCU (Corpus Christi Coastal Classic). TCU doesn’t appear to be that good, but they do come in 4-0 and it’ll be interesting to see what they do against our preseason pick to win the Big South.
-ARIZONA V SAN DIEGO STATE (Maui Invitational). Both teams come in unbeaten, and both teams already have some big wins on their profiles. This one should be fun. It usually is whenever these two get together.
-TULSA V OKLAHOMA STATE (MGM Grand Main Event). I wouldn’t call this a rivalry, but it is usually an intriguing match up when they get together. This edition of this series will be played in Las Vegas, and Okie State is looking to improve to 5-0.
-MISSOURI STATE V COLORADO STATE (Great Alaska Shootout). I’m not too terribly excited about either team, but Missouri State has just one loss and Colorado State is 3-0. This tournament is a chance for both teams to coninue to build up momentum.
