News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Friday, Feb 18

CLICK HERE to watch yesterday’s HOOPS HD BRACKET RUNDOWN where we reveal the Staff’s latest consensus Bracket Projection line by line and debate, discuss, and assess each team as we go.  

-In terms of the board, it was a very chalky night last night.  Arizona, UCLA, Houston, Murray State, and USC all won easily and basically held serve.

-Oregon got blown out by Arizona State, which is not what they needed at all.  They’re still in the discussion, but chances are they’re more out than in right now.

-Michigan picked up another nice win as they knocked off Iowa on the road.  I think Iowa is much closer to the bubble than most other people, but the consensus seems to be that they are still solidly in.  Either way, it was a nice road win for  Michigan team that really needed it.

-Saint Mary’s got a battle at home from San Francisco, but managed to pick up the 69-64 win.

-We may have our first elimination tonight on the HOOPS HD SURVIVAL BOARD!!!  If Columbia loses their game at Harvard, or if Cornell wins at Dartmouth, Columbia will be mathematically unable to qualify for the Ivy League Tournament

-RICHMOND AT VCU (Atlantic Ten).  VCU is on the bubble for being in consideration to be on the bubble.  They have a slim shot at it, but they basically need to win out.  That includes beating their rivals at home tonight.
