Iowa St 85, Iowa 82 - Iowa St holds serve at home. Nice bonus for ISU, no real harm to Iowa until they whiff many more times
Colorado 80, Elon 63
Memphis, 73, UALR 59
Missouri St 70, Oral Roberts 67 - MSU road win. Winning the games they should, at the least
Saturday is a quality day. I won't list all games of relevance, but:
Arizona at Michigan - at some point, Michigan will need a signature victory for a top, top seed
VCU at Northern Iowa - Chance for a road win here. For UNI, it's the last chance saloon
Oklahoma St at Louisiana Tech - Road game at CUSA favorite. This is a very very tricky spot, OSU
Tennessee at Wichita St - Signature win chance for Tennessee. We'll talk about WSU running the table if they get by the next 2 weeks
Michigan St at Oakland - Only notable because it's Izzo going on the road again
Notre Dame n. Indiana - Notre Dame is taking on water. Indiana needs help from a soft non-con schedule. High stakes in this game - someone's getting a marginal loss on their resume
Belmont at South Dakota St - Belmont's reached the point where they can start thinking at-large bid, and these road games are the type of games that are mandatory for that
Middle Tennessee at Ole Miss - Loser leaves at-large town
Kentucky at North Carolina - This game analyzes itself
Butler at Purdue - Butler might have to get this to feel into the at-large race
St Mary's at Boise St - Game of the night in my book. St Mary's added up some early quality wins, but those were at home. Here's a chance at a signature road win. Boise could use the profile boost themselves
New Mexico at Kansas - Kansas needs to stop the bleeding at some point, and this could be a big win in the computers. New Mexico, you serious about being a year-in, year-out player in CBB? Then bink this win on the road
Cincinnati n. Xavier - Straightforward quality win chance for both
North Dakota St at Ohio St - Notre Dame is one thing. Ohio State is another
Illinois at Oregon - We'll find out just how good UI is.
BYU at Utah - Utah's record is a mirage, so we'll see just how good they are here
