2/18 preview

Xavier at Cincinnati - non-con games in mid-February!  Loser has to worry about the bubble for a little while, winner is a bit more secure
Louisville at Syracuse - UL needs to hold in these games, they can't have another NC State happen
Davidson at George Washington - absolutely massive game for both
UMass at Rhode Island - absolutely another massive game.  Boy, the A-10 schedule is very solvent.  The winners are bubble contenders, the losers are in big, big trouble
Iowa St at Oklahoma St - another pecking order game in the Big 12
North Carolina at Duke- seeding implications
Providence at DePaul - trap game
UCLA at Arizona St - bubble teams win these games, UCLA
Colorado St at Fresno St - feels like a trap game to me
Boise St at UNLV - ditto

In the MAC, leader Bowling Green has Miami at home and should be fine.  Behind them, Kent has a cupcake and Toledo is at Akron
In the Big South, a busy day. I won't even bother to list them out, we'll see what happens first
Big day in the Colonial.  Leader William & Mary is at Northeastern.  James Madison is 1 back and hosts Drexel.  The race might be effectively over by tomorrow night, or we might have a 4-way cluster between these teams, and heck we could throw in Hofstra too if things break right
