Last Four In: New Mexico, Villanova, Utah, Seton Hall

First Four Out: St. Johns, Colorado, Providence, Iowa

Next Four Out: Texas A&M, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Drake

Notes:

- No changes to the teams in the field today, although there was some shuffling in the bottom of the bracket. Seton Hall moved up a few spots after beating Villanova last night and Nova fell a spot. Texa A&M moved up a couple spots in the next four out.

- Bubble Games Today:

Colorado @ Oregon - Maybe a bubble elimination game here. Colorado is my 2nd team out, this is a Q1 win opportunity for the Buffs. Oregon is not even in the first 8 out meaning they probably have to run the table to the PAC-12 championship to have any chance. A win here by Colorado would give them a 2 Q1 win to go with 7 Q2 wins and no bad losses. It would probably be enough to put them in the field tomorrow. A loss would not be a bad loss, but is the last chance for Colorado to enhance their resume before the conference tournament as the reg season finale is a Q3 game at Oregon St. So a big chance/opportunity tonight for Colorado.

Utah @ Oregon St. - A must win for Utah. They are in my last four in but are out of others brackets meaning they are right at the edge. This is a Q3 game so they cant add a 2nd bad loss this time of year. They need to win this and then they get a Q1 chance at Oregon to end the season. 2 wins to end the season would likely have Utah in my bracket heading into the Pac-12 tournament but they would still need to avoid a bad loss and adding a quality win would be advisable.
