Like the college bball season before the tourney there are some games to watch for when you are close to the bubble like SU. Root for the following teams over the next two days.
Loyola - Down 2-0 to BU early, Loyola winning the Patriot would be great for SU and teams who are in but close to the bubble and a must for teams on the Bubble. Patriot is probably a 2 bid league so Navy winning isn't the worst thing ever but BU or Lehigh winning would be real bad. If Loyola loses today root like heck for Navy.
Ohio State and Maryland - B10 is kind of a mess at the moment with Maryland and probably JHU as the only locks. If Ohio Stat wins they knock Rutgers out of the B10 tourney and probably out of the tourney. Maryland winning keeps them as the front runner and keeps everyone else jumbled though I do think Hopkins is pretty close to lock status.
Duke- A win over ND today I think effectively knocks ND out, outside of the Denver win they just dont have the wins and their offense is non-existent. A win against a sub .500 Army team next week probably doesn't do much for them either.
Cornell/Albany - Need Cornell to keep winning as it helps our overall numbers despite the loss. As for Albany the AE tournament doesn't start till next week but Albany needs to win it to avoid a bid being stolen, a win Sat locks in home field for them.
