Games to Watch Friday 3/14

With bubble teams losing left and right Thursday, there are openings for the remaining teams. Can they take advantage? Here's your guide to tomorrow's bubble action.

Noon:
FSU at UNC - FSU's shot at the tournament is here, and they took UNC to OT in Tallahassee. UNC's chance at the #1 seed through Charlotte depends on a couple more wins too.

2:30 pm:
Ohio St. vs. Michigan St. - A rematch of the Buckeyes' home victory less than a week ago, the Buckeyes need another win to clinch a berth.

3:15 pm:
Vanderbilt vs. Arkansas - The Hogs have the better seeding, but need the win to move off the bubble. They may have already done enough, but a win here would clinch it.

6:30 pm:
St. Joe's vs. Xavier - A huge game for the A-10. A St. Joe's victory would put them on the right side of the bubble, while at the same time giving the automatic bid to someone other than Xavier. A Xavier victory could easily lead to the A-10 being a one-bid league. The whole league is rooting for St. Joseph's.

9:00 pm:
Charlotte vs. Temple - With all the losses, the Owls are looking better and better. A win over beatable Charlotte would take the Owls to 13-5 against A-10 opposition, and you'd have to like their chances in the final. Just getting there puts them squarely in the bubble discussion.

12:05 am:
UNLV vs. New Mexico(??) - Would have been a good game, but the Lobos lost in OT last night to Utah.
