-ILLINOIS AT WISCONSIN (Big Ten). Illinois is improving and should end up inside the bubble by the end of the year. Of course pulling off the upset against a Wisconsin team who is contending for a #1 seed could really catapult their profile.
-IOWA AT NORTHWESTERN (Big Ten). Iowa is coming off a somewhat surprising home loss to Minnesota and needs to rebound by picking up this win on the road today. Like we always say, tournament teams need to be able to win on the road against non NIT teams.
-NORTHERN IOWA AT MISSOURI STATE (Missouri Valley). I really like this Northern Iowa team and think they’ll ultimately end up as a protected seed.
-STANFORD AT COLORADO (Pac Twelve). Stanford has fallen all the way to the bubble and they cannot afford to lose this game today.
-NEBRASKA AT PURDUE (Big Ten). Purdue has a lot of work to do, but this is one of many winnable games they have between now and the end. They need to take advantage of it.
-MIAMI FL AT BOSTON COLLEGE (ACC). Miami has been wildly inconsistent all season long. They simply cannot afford to lose this game on the road to a very unimpressive BC team.
-ARIZONA AT WASHINGTON STATE (Pac Twelve). Wazzu is much improved and they do have some momentum built up. This is still the kind of game Arizona should win, but I don’t think you can just rubber stamp it the way you could in previous years.
-MINNESOTA AT INDIANA (Big Ten). Many at Hoops HD feel Minnesota is a bubble team. I really don’t see it, but if they win today they’ll be impossible to ignore.
-CALIFORNIA AT UTAH (Pac Twelve). Utah should end up as a protected seed and needs to hold serve at home against non-tournament teams.
