-We will be recording our Hoops HD Report tonight, so be on the lookout for that late tonight/early tomorrow morning.
-Loyola Chicago picked up a nice road win at Missouri State 71-62. More importantly than what it means on paper is that they actually looked really good on the court for the first time in a while.
-San Diego State, who is right on our bubble, had to sweat out Nevada, but held on to win 65-63 and avoided what would have been a damaging home loss.
-Wyoming, who had a big week with home wins against Colorado State and Boise State, capped off a huge week with a road win at Fresno State. Fresno isn’t in our field, but they had been playing really well and were on our board, and to win that game on the road was huge for the Cowboys.
-Houston and Providence both picked up road wins, and Ohio State held off Maryland at home, all without too much trouble.
-VIRGINIA AT DUKE (ACC). Duke continues to be on pace for a #1 seed and should be able to pick this one up tonight against a Virginia team that has struggled all year long.
-ARIZONA AT ARIZONA STATE (Pac 12). Normally I’d say this should be an easy win for Arizona. Well…it still should be, but it is a rivalry game, Arizona State is coming off a very surprising win against UCLA, and Arizona will not want to overlook them.
-KANSAS AT TEXAS (Big 12). Texas is getting better, and they are proving to be a very tough team to beat at home, but Kansas is coming off a very impressive blowout win against Baylor, so even though they’re at home this is a tall order for the Longhorns.
