[B]Thursday's Games of Note:[/B]

[B]Houston at Cincinnati (7 p.m., ESPN2)[/B] Houston is lingering among the final eight teams out on The Bracket Matrix. A win over a ranked Cincinnati team on the road would give the Cougars a marquee win and help them close the gap on the rest of the bubble considerably.

[B]Florida International at Middle Tennessee (7:30 p.m., Watch ESPN)[/B] Middle Tennessee, the No. 15 seed that stunned the country by upsetting Michigan State in last year's NCAA Tournament before losing to Syracuse, is the only Conference USA team with a reasonable claim for an at-large bid. Losing to a terrible FIU team at home would be the end of that and eliminate any possibility of a bid thief emerging from the CUSA Tournament. The Blue Raiders are currently projected as a No. 11 seed.

[B]Texas-Arlington at Louisiana-Monroe (8 p.m, No TV)[/B] It doesn't seem like Texas Arlington can make a credible argument but losing here would likely end any chances of the Sun Belt being a two-bid league. Texas-Arlington is currently projected as a No. 12 seed.

[B]California at Utah (11 p.m., ESPNU)[/B] The Golden Bears are currently projected as a No. 11 seed by The Bracket Matrix, just behind Syracuse. They could solidify that spot with a road win over a decent Utah team.
