March 15, 2013
We had an interesting Thursday on the college hoops landscape. Several bubble teams completed their profiles – some of which will fall a bit short of the NCAA tournament. For the rest, today could prove to be a critical juncture. Action and results in the SEC will definitely impact the bottom part of the bracket. There are also some important games in Brooklyn at the Atlantic 10 tourney. There's even a potential bid stealer lurking in the Pac-12 as Utah eliminated California.
A few quick notes … Oklahoma now sits one spot above the First Four following the loss at Iowa State. The group heading to Dayton? Boise State, Saint Mary's, La Salle, and Kentucky. And that could all change by later tonight or tomorrow.
Enjoy the games.
