[B]9:00 is the time to be watching College Basketball tomorrow night![/B]

[B]PRIMARY BUBBLE[/B]

6:30  Auburn at 8th team out [B]Georgia[/B] (-5)
7:00 1st team Out [B]Rhode Island[/B] (-9) at St. Joes
9:00 Louisville at 2nd team Out [B]Wake Forest[/B] (+3.5)
9:00 Michigan St at 4th team out [B]Illinois[/B] (-2.0)
9:00 5th last team in [B]Marquette [/B](+2) at 9th last team in [B]Xavier [/B](-2.0)
9:00 3rd team out [B]Kansas St[/B] (+2.5) at 6th team out [B]TCU[/B] (-2.5) 
10:00 Washington St at 6th last team in [B]USC[/B] (-12)

Some comments on the 9:00 games:
[LIST]
[*]Wake Forest has a top 10 win opportunity at home and Illinois has a top 50 home opportunity.   These are resume movers and must not happen
[*]The loser of the head to head matchups will be hurt in either case, but if I had to pick one.   Marquette will probably be closer to the line with a loss, so cheer for Xavier.   A
[*]I would go with TCU.  Kansas St seems to be slightly ahead and a road win down the stretch would move them up more than a home win for TCU.

Secondary Games[/B]

7:00 Michigan at [B]Northwestern [/B](-1.0)
7:00 [B]Arkansas (+11)[/B] at Florida
8:00 [B]VCU[/B] at [B]Dayton[/B]
8:00 NC St at [B]Clemson[/B] (-8.5)

Northwestern and Arkansas may have need to win one more game (regular or conference).

VCU and Dayton.   Both are near locks, but  theoretically if the loser of this game then incurs 2 bad losses in the A-10 to end the season they could be in trouble.

Clemson is similar to Pitt above.  3 neutral wins in the ACC tournament has massive value in the resume.  So they still "have a chance".
