Games of the Day

Rock M U v. Mt. St. Mary's, Portland State v. Montana State
Winner dances.  Or in Montana State's case, winner goes straight to Dayton for the Play-in Game.

Providence v. DePaul
The Friars are probably on the outside looking in right now, but if they can beat DePaul, then beat Louisville tomorrow, that might be enough for them.  And needless to say, if they allow DePaul's win streak to grow to a whopping 2, they're not dancing.

OSU v. ISU, ATM v. Tech
Both OSU and ATM are pretty safely in at the moment, but losses to a bad team like ISU or Tech might give them quite a bit of consternation come Sunday.

La Salle v. SLU
I just wanted to point out that SLU is in a conference that plays its tourney in Atlantic City.  There is nothing Atlantic about SLU.  Just sayin'.
