1/10 preview

Once again, let's just look at the important stuff, in chronological order:

Cincinnati at UConn - hey, UConn, you can get back within shouting distance of the bubble with a win here
Ohio St at Indiana - a top 2 seed is in play for OSU, the bubble obviously in play for Indiana
Georgetown at Providence - yet another game in the middle of the Big East standings; this is probably for 3rd in the conference pecking order
Louisville at North Carolina - UNC is starting to see a high seed slip away.  Louisville needs some padding to justify a top seed in March
Baylor at TCU - I think we're a couple more TCU losses away from finally getting everyone off that bandwagon
Xavier at Butler - another one of those Big East games
Texas at Oklahoma St - high stakes for UT.  I was ready to put them #2 in the B12, and that likely meant a top 3 seed.  Losing here isn't fine, but you're trending towards a 5, not a 2
Old Dominion at Western Kentucky - this might be one of the trickier land mines left for ODU
Virginia at Notre Dame - UND won some equity with their win over UNC, so this is more about seeding
Boise St at Wyoming - after beating CSU, Wyoming has some equity, but it's more important to keep the ball rolling towards a MWC title given their SoS
Iowa St at West Virginia - god, this Big 12
