2/21 recap

UMass 80, VCU 75 - UMass is just about locked up; no harm no foul for VCU, but this could've been worth a seed line

FGCU 75, Mercer 61 - tied at 12-3, split season series, 3 to play in the A-Sun
Iona 80, Rider 77 - 15-2 in the MAAC; elsewhere, Manhattan absorbed a road loss to fall 3 back
Yale and Harvard both win on the road in the Ivy

Quality Saturday emerging:
Xavier at Georgetown - X can't afford too many more losses before being on the wrong side of the bubble; Georgetown is on the brink of losing the bubble altogether
Florida at Ole Miss - Ole Miss already lost their last chance saloon chance vs. Kentucky; Florida has margin of error now as far as a 1 seed goes
Louisville at Cincinnati - detailed already about Louisville's problem resume; they need a signature win desperately
Wisconsin at Iowa - a 1 seed still in play for Wisky; Iowa has a small margin of error to maintain a top 4 seed
St John's at Villanova - a free shot for the Johnnies, really
Baylor at West Virginia - high-impact bubble game
Texas Tech at Oklahoma St - such a must-win for OSU
South Dakota St at North Dakota St -this is for the Summit lead
LSU at Kentucky - LSU can rescue their entire profile right here
Kansas St at Oklahoma - high impact game for the S-Curve
UCLA at Stanford - Stanford is starting to fall behind the other Pac-12 bubble teams
Minnesota at Ohio St - all of a sudden, Minny could use a quality win to balance out Illinois
UTEP at Southern Miss - winner gets to cling onto the bubble
Syracuse at Duke - implications on the top line
Texas at Kansas - more top line implications
George Washington at St Louis - another chance for GWU to lock themselves up; St Louis can start thinking about a VERY high seed
Arizona at Colorado - a chance for Colorado to just about lockbox; Arizona needs to stop the bleeding and pass the 1 seed eye test again
San Diego St at New Mexico - here's the game SDSU needs to prove it deserves that 2 seed; New Mexico non the brink of the lockbox themselves
