Sorry for the late posting. It's been a busy couple days in the UP89 household. Ready for the big game at 5pm today!
Anyway... TONS of games! Four different sets of Wildcats to root for... and two sets of Spartans!
----------------------------------
Creighton (18-10, NET 14) at Villanova - 12:00pm, FOX
- If Creighton loses to a 14-14 VIllanova team, they could fall behind Pitt in the rankings. Go Wildcats!
Oklahoma at Iowa State (17-10, NBT 17) - 12:00pm, ESPNU
- Iowa State is in no danger of missing the tournament, but they could fall behind Pitt in the rankings with a 2nd loss this week. Go Sooners!
TCU (18-10, NET 26) at Texas Tech (15-12, NET 48) - 12:00pm, ESPN2
- Texas Tech has played their way onto the bubble. And as such, we need to root against them. Go Fightin' Jamie Dixons!
Clemson (20-8, NET 74) at NC State (22-7, NET 36) - 12:00pm, ACCNX
- There are pros and cons for Pitt for both results. But I think it is important that Clemson stay in the Top 75 so our loss stays in QUAD 2. So.... Go Tigers!
Michigan State (17-10, NET 35) at Iowa (17-11, NET 46) - 12:00pm, ESPN
- Iowa is a team that Pitt can pass a little easier than MSU. So.... Go Spartans!
Missouri (20-8, NET 52) at Georgia - 1:00pm, SECN
- Easy one. Go Bulldogs!
Arizona State (19-9, NET 67) at Arizona (24-4, NET 11) - 2:00pm, CBS
- All bubble teams are rooting for Arizona in this game. Go Wildcats!
Kansas State (21-7, NET 18) at Oklahoma State (16-12, NET 41) - 2:00pm, ESPNU
- Another easy one. The third set of Wildcats to root for today. Go Wildcats!
Texas A&M (21-7, NET 24) at Mississippi State (18-10, NET 43) - 3:30pm, SECN
- It would be better for Pitt for MSU to lose. So.... Go Aggies!
WVU (16-12, NET 27) at Kansas (23-5, NET 6) - 4:00pm, ESPN
- Another easy one. Go Jayhawks!
Florida State at Miami (23-5, NET 28) - 4:00pm, ESPN2
- An FSU upset will get Pitt a little margin for error. So .... Go Seminoles!
Auburn (19-9, NET 33) at Kentucky (19-9, NET 29) - 4:00, CBS
- Both teams are in the dance, but Kentucky is surging and will be hard for Pitt to pass on the seed lines. The *4th* set of wildcats to root for today! Go Wildcats!
Virginia (21-5, NET 21) at North Carolina (17-11, NET 47) - 6:00pm, ESPN
- Virginia is reeling. A loss here, and they probably have no path to the #1 seed in the ACC. Plus, an UNC win helps Pitt's analytics more. Go Tar Heels!
Boise State (22-6, NET 23) at San Jose State - 7:00pm, no TV
- Boise State's NET is disgustingly elevated. They've played only four QUAD 1 games... and lost three of them. Go Spartans!
USC (20-8, NET 49) at Utah (17-12, NET 59) - 8:00pm, ESPNU
- USC is closer to passing Pitt on the bubble than Utah. Go Utes!
Virginia Tech at Duke (20-8, NET 30) - 8:00pm, ESPN
- If Duke loses and Pitt wins, Pitt locks up a double-bye int he ACCT. Go Hokies!
San Diego State (22-5, NET 16) at New Mexico (20-8, NET 46) - 10:00pm, CBSSN
- Better for the bubble if New Mexico loses. So.... Go Aztecs!
