2/21 preview

Just the key games...

Pittsburgh at Syracuse - this would still count as a quality road win
Seton Hall at St John's - last chance for SHU, important hold for St John's
UMass at VCU - another team approaching their last chance to stay on the bubble
Iowa St at Texas - UT is probably safe but this would help add a lot of buffer in between them and the bubble
West Virginia at Oklahoma St - useful for seeding purposes
Miami at Louisville - UL is bleeding seed lines, and Miami needs a signature win.  Perfect storm brewing
Butler at Xavier - big chance for Xavier to distance itself from the bubble
Louisiana Tech at Old Dominion - LT can really get close to salting away the CUSA title; ODU is barely hanging onto the bubble
UCLA at Arizona - well, UCLA has road problems, and I know how to erase them...
Gonzaga at St Mary's - St Mary's big chance

Road bubble teams today.  These teams face inferior competition and need to hold.  These are your red alarm situations:
Texas A&M (at South Carolina)
Dayton (at Duquesne)
Rhode Island (at George Mason)
George Washington (at Richmond)
Georgia (at Alabama)
Cincinnati (at Houston)

Another wave of bubble teams are at home in such a situation, and I won't even bother to list them all
