This weekend's games:
As noted above I think a solid general cut-off line between lock and not safe is the 9 seed line. Some of these teams may need a win. Some may just want a win to avoid committee judgment or committee error next Sunday.
Saturday 1:00
9 Seed Florida vs Q1 Kentucky (probably a good game for Florida as the main thing that could knock them out is a bad loss and they avoid it here)
Saturday 2:00
9 seed Texas Tech vs Q1 Kansas (Similar comment to Florida in terms of quality of opponent... Texas Tech has loss 3 games in a row and has done a slow slide down the bracket although they should be saved by lack of time.
Saturday 6:30
9 Seed Arizona St vs Q3 Washington St (Good time to have a realtively easy win.. but it would be a horrible time for a bad loss as well).
Arizona St is still a solid 5-8 in Q1 games, 9-11 in Q1+Q2, plus 6 road wins. So they can absorb the last loss, but they need to avoid stupid results.
9 Seed Providence vs Q3 Depaul. See Arizona St. above) Same exact philosophy here (Nice to have an easy win.. but you better win it), Depaul at 3-14 in the Big East finally fell out of the NET top 75.
