We did not get any help last night, but nothing hurt us. We are still 43rd in the NET, and Palm and Lunardi both have us in the first of the Last Four In position. Obviously, we'd like to avoid playing an extra game so we need to move up. Big game in Columbia tonight if we want to make that happen. Although it probably doesn't hurt us much if we lose, a win would be big and move us into a legitimate seed instead of a play in game.
Here's some other games to watch:
Akron is at Toledo in a big MAC matchup. Akron is a Q2 win right now (98th NET), if they beat Toledo (96th), it will keep them there, and they will control their own destiny in the MAC.
Marquette is at Creighton in a game with Big East title implications. We need Marquette to keep winning. A neutral site win over the Big East Champ will be a big plus if it comes down to our resume.
Arkansas hosts Georgia. An Arkansas win is better for us because we have a win over the Hogs AND we need to pass Georgia to avoid a Wednesday game in the SEC Tournament
Utah State at Wyoming. Utah State is a bubble team. A loss on the road to Wyoming would be helpful to eliminating one of the teams on the bubble with a higher NET.
