Bracketology Bubble Watch: North Carolina, Indiana, Texas Looking for Winning to increase NCAA tournament staff

The time is running for teams in the bladder. For everyone except the West Coast Conference Teams, the last week of the regular season is approaching.

And we cannot forget the conference tournaments. Many people think these games don't matter, but they absolutely do it. You do not receive a special treatment from the committee-sie is just another game in the schedule in November in November, but in most cases you are games for neutral situations, so there is a certain value. In addition, the winner qualifies automatically, and the committee also needs this information.

The “double bubble” game on Saturday

Georgia in Texas

8 p.m. | ESPN2, Fubo (try it for free)

These teams have similar profiles. There are 9-11 compared to the three top quadrants. The Longhorns have a few more victories and another loss in Quad 2. The main reason why the razibacks are currently in front of us is that they have won in Austin. Texas will also search in the head-to-head matchups after the score and progress in the Bracket Hack Ordinance.

Other Bubble teams in action Saturday

North Carolina

Against Miami, 12 noon | ESPN, Fubo (try it for free)

The Tar Heels spend their time until they play Duke next week. You certainly can't afford to lose beforehand.

Arkansas

in South Carolina, 1 p.m. | SEC network, Fubo (try it for free)

South Carolina has already proven to be dangerous at home. The Gamecocks defeated the Longhorns last week and cut back their tournament prospects. That was the only victory of South Carolina in the previous conference game. The razbacks better make sure that this is still true on Saturday evening.

Nebraska

Against Minnesota, 2 p.m. | Big ten Network, Fubo (try it for free)

The Cornhuskers lost three of their last four, including a 17-point whip in Penn State. Losing against the Gopher would really put Nebraska in a hole.

Oklahoma

With Ole Miss, 2 p.m. | ESPN2, Fubo (try it for free)

The Sooners were heavily lost against Kentucky at home on Wednesday evening to fall 17-1. This makes more pressure to achieve one or two results in front of the SEC tournament. Then Oklahoma organizes in Missouri and travels to Texas in a very important game for both teams.

Cincinnati

in Houston, 4:30 p.m. | CBS

Cincinnati has won some important games in recent weeks to get into this position. Now you don't have to beat Houston to make the NCAA tournament, and not that victory would not be welcome. However, the editor have some work to win or lose.

Xavier

vs. Creighton, 4:30 p.m. | Fox, Fubo (try it for free)

Xavier is the last team in which your profile has nothing spectacular, but is also largely harmless. However, this will not work on the selection Sunday. This game is of crucial importance for the chances of the musketers to be a team in two weeks.

Vanderbilt

Against Missouri, 6 p.m. | SEC network, Fubo (try it for free)

Although the Commodores are a seed number 8 in the current bracket, they are still in the bladder because all three last games of the regular season are dangerous. After that, Vanderbilt Arkansas, probably as a favorite, is organized, followed by a trip to Georgia. It is not difficult to imagine that the Commodores lose all three, but a victory should make it clear.

Indiana

in Washington, 6 p.m. | peacock

Indiana is only 4-11 in Quad-1 games and two of these victories are teams that are not in the bracket. The other two are in the state of Michigan and accommodate Purdue and there are no losses outside of Quad 1. The Hoosiers start their swing of the west coast in Washington. This is a “must win” if you can still say that all of your losses are quad 1.

Boise State

in the state of Fresno, 7 p.m.

Boise State rose to the bracket for the first time this season. To stay there, the Broncos have to win such games wherever they are played. The state of Fresno had a miserable year and her next opponent, Air Force, was just as bad. A loss against both may not be something that you can recover from.

State of San Diego

At Wyoming, 8 p.m. | CBS Sports Network

The Aztecs are in a position where you should be okay if you take care of the business. Non -conference wins via Creighton and in particular Houston are a great help and something the other Berg -West teams do not have. The loss of house against UNLV hurts and the reserves will take place next week.

Baylor

Against Oklahoma State, 8 p.m. ESPN+

Baylor fell out of the bracket on Tuesday after the loss in Cincinnati. This is the fourth loss of the bears in the last five games. All losses hurt, but the one in this route that hurt the most was the one in Colorado. That was a quad -2 loss. A loss of the cowboys would be a second for the bears in Quad 3.

West Virginia

at BYU, 10 p.m. | ESPN2, Fubo (try it for free)

West Virginia has had a few moments this season, like victories against Arizona and in Kansas, but the mountaineers also have five losses of their 11 against teams who are not in the bracket. This kind of inconsistency is why you are here. The Cougars won the first meeting in Morgantown. West Virginia has to reply.

San Francisco

Against Gonzaga. 11 p.m. | ESPN, Fubo (try it for free)

If the Dons are a large team in the NCAA tournament, this is a “must win”. They have no good schedule, partly because there are so many conference games Quad 4, but they defeated Saint Mary's and Boise State. This is her last chance. If you lose against Gonzaga, you would be the WCC tournament champion at the time of time when you had enough good victories to be a big team.
