- Tulsa at UConn - a mandatory game for Tulsa to win if they want to harbor at-large hopes (and yes, you should ignore UConn's at-large chances for the time being)
- Chattanooga at Wofford - probably one of the biggest spots of bother left in Wofford's schedule; must-win to maintain at-large hopes
- Big 10 teams in various levels of bubble distress: Iowa (hosts Minnesota), Purdue (at Rutgers), Illinois (hosts Michigan)
- Ole Miss at Florida - Ole Miss goes from novelty bubble candidate to serious bubble candidate with a win here
- It's a full schedule in C-USA. Among your tri-leaders, LaTech should handle a bad FAU team at home and UAB should handle North Texas on the road. WKU is off, so without the 3-team tiebreaker, tomorrow's bracket will revert to LaTech as the CUSA rep if both teams win
- More importantly, down farther in the standings, Old Dominion must hold against UTSA on the road to maintain their at-large spot in the bracket
- St Mary's at BYU - everyone's kind of napping on St Mary's at-large hopes, but they're handling their business in conference play. This is the one game that can really make a dent in their quality win column
- Stanford at Utah - Stanford doesn't have to win this to stay on the good side of the bubble, but they can fix a lot of profile issues with a win here. They also have @Arizona still to come, so if they can get one, great. If they get neither...they've got to hold serve against inferior teams for several games. That's an uncomfortable ask
- Sacramento St at Eastern Washington for the Big Sky lead
- Gonzaga and SMU should handle cupcakes easily
- Among conference leaders: Louisiana-Monroe needs to handle Louisiana-Lafayette at home to maintain the Sun Belt lead...UC-Davis has a cupcake at home to keep the Big West lead...North Florida and FGCU have road games against mid-table teams in the A-Sun...in the massive Big South logjam, only UNC-Asheville is active tonight, and can take sole possession of that lead for Friday's bracket
