2/14 preview

Again, just the mega-important games listed below...
Ohio St at Michigan St - MSU is in bigger trouble than you think
North Carolina at Pittsburgh - it's getting late early in the bubble season for Pitt
St John's at Xavier - with everyone else around the bubble faltering, a great chance to make a big leap for the Johnnies...and a big chance for X to creep towards the lockbox
Baylor at Kansas - seeding implications, as the Big 12 #2 race is all over the map
VCU at George Washington - all of a sudden, both teams are a bit desperate
Oregon at UCLA - UCLA has successfully fought its way back to the bubble and can't afford to lose this; this is a golden chance for Oregon to do the same
West Virginia at Iowa St - WVU is in dangerous territory, could lose the draft of the top 5 teams in this conference if they lose much more
Seton Hall at Providence - SHU is a catastrophe right now, this is a big ask to win this game but if they don't, they're really on the brink
NC State at Louisville - NCSU already has 11 losses; at some point that number will be too big to overcome, yet this would be a big, big ask
Villanova at Butler - this has significant seeding implications on the top 4 lines
Colorado St at San Diego St - I'll feel a lot better about CSU's chances if they bink this
UConn at SMU - needless to say, mandatory for UConn
Old Dominion at UTEP - last chance saloon for ODU, they've gotta get this one
Arkansas at Ole Miss - now that Ole Miss is a legit bubble team, this would be a major boost
