News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Sunday, Mar 8th

CLICK HERE for our CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK VIDEO NOTEBOOK: DAV 5 where we review all of Saturday’s conference tournament action as well as some of the big regular season games

-MICHIGAN AT MARYLAND (Big Ten).  Both teams are playing for seeding as Maryland is trying to lock up a protected seed and make a push for the #2 line, and Michigan is trying to get a huge road win that could put them within reach of a protected seed as well.

-MEMPHIS AT HOUSTON (American).  Memphis is outside the bubble and while they have a case, it’s a weak case if they can’t win this game, and that may not even be enough.  Houston has been reeling a little bit and while I think they’ll make the field, their seed will suffer if they lose this one and then go out early in the conference tournament.

-TULSA AT WICHITA STATE (American).  Tulsa is the first place team in the American, but still has some work to do if they want to lock up a bid.  Wichita State is right on the bubble and really needs to win this one in order to remain on the right side of it.

-OHIO STATE AT MICHIGAN STATE (Big Ten).  Michigan State has suddenly caught fire and should end up as a solid protected seed.  Ohio State will have a case for a protected seed as well, especially if they can pick up this win.

-IOWA AT ILLINOIS (Big Ten).  Both teams are locks for the tournament, and both should easily land in the top half of the bracket.  They’re just playing for seeding today.
