Wednesday bubble games
Well we got two good wins or rather losses today (Indiana & ATM). Tomorrow's lineup:

Tennessee (R) over LSU - this would likely drop LSU below us
UMass (H) over Richmond - we need our win over UMass to look better
Pitt/Miami toss-up would be best if they both lost
Michigan St (H) over Purdue - having Purdue win does not improve our resume enough to justify having a bubble team win (they stay in the 50-100 RPI range) if they were to win though it won't hurt us as much as other bubble teams winning
Tulsa/Cincinnati - another toss-up both are in reach probably Cincinnatti more so, perhaps leaning a little towards Tulsa winning, but really a toss-up on the net benefit for us
Marquette (H) over St. John's - finally an easy one to pick. Marquette beating St. John's would really hurt St. John's resume
Utah St. (R) over Wyoming - RPI, if Utah St. can win their next two games, and at least 1 in the conference tourney, our win over them gets a serious upgrade (from top 150 to top 100)
USC (R) over UCLA - UCLA is considered a long-shot at best, but a loss to USC would move them out of the mix
Nevada (H) over Col St - losing to Nevada may put Colorado State on the wrong side of the bubble
Nebraska (R) over Illinois - same as above. Losing to Nebraska would seriously dampen Illinois' chances for at-large
SJSU (H) over Boise St - not only would this hurt Boise and put us clearly ahead of them, it would really hurt the momentum they have right now in the MWC
SDSU (R) over UNLV - SDSU losing this hurts our resume, so we want them to win it (winning it doesn't help the resume)
Oregon St (H) over Oregon - this likely moves us ahead of Oregon
Hawaii (H) over UC Santa Barbara - RPI

Lots of chances to move up without playing tomorrow. Lets hope for a good night of full of upsets (other than SDSU of course)
