We're officially in the first four out from the last update I saw from Lunardi. Unfortunately bubble teams performed well last yesterday. Here's a rundown:
Smaller slate of games today, so enjoy a day off, after our game, people!
Penn St @ Iowa - We still have a path with a loss (need to make the BTT finals beating Illinois, Purdue, and #4/5), but a win positions us to only need one "upset" in the BTT.
East Carolina @ Houston - Houston is hanging around looking for a shot to beat SMU or Cincinnati to climb back in. A loss like this would be damaging.
RPI/Seeding games:
Purdue over NW
Nebraska over Michigan (this is close, as Michigan would stop being a Top 50 win, but I like our matchup with Nebraska better and we played them twice)
Omaha over Fort Wayne
- Rutgers beat Ilinois
- Vanderbilt added a quality win vs Florida.
- Seton Hall won @ Butler
- Cal lost @ Colorado
- Marquette beat Creighton
- Syracuse beat Georgia Tech
- Wake Forest beat Virginia Tech
- UT Arlington lost to Louisiana Lafayette (no more at large possibility)
