First, a rundown of the games involving relevant teams from the past 2 days:
- NC State lost at Duke on Monday, which doesn’t hurt the Wolfpack much, but they can’t afford to tread water at this point
- Texas Tech lost in overtime at Baylor on Monday, in a game that likely would have moved them off the bubble
- South Carolina beat Mississippi State. Neither team has much of a chance at this point
- Michigan State won at Penn State. The Spartans are moving into 3-seed territory.
- Rutgers got a huge win over Maryland which solidifies their position in the field and hurts Maryland’s chances for 2 seed.
- Cincinnati beat South Florida at home, which doesn’t really help them at all.
- Richmond beat Davidson at home, a decent Quadrant 2 win that helps them a little.
- Marquette lost at Depaul. They’re still OK, but dropping into 8-seed territory.
- Alabama lost to Vanderbilt at home, ending any hopes the Tide may have had for an at-large bid
- Kentucky lost at home to Tennessee, hurting their chances for a 2 seed.
- Purdue got a huge win they needed at Iowa. The big question is, can they get in at 2 games over .500?
- Texas kept their hot streak going with a win at Oklahoma. The Longhorns are now more solidly in the field, while the Sooners are slipping towards the cut line.
- West Virginia got a road win against Iowa State
