Other than Iowa over MSU here are some other games to keep an eye on

RPI Help
Indiana over Illinois
Wisconsin over Michigan
Nebraska over Ohio State
Iowa St over Kansas
Texas Pan Am over Chicago St

Bubble Watch
Vandy over Kentucky
Butler over LaSalle
NC State over Virginia
Alabama over Tennessee
UTEP over Southern Miss
Missouri over Ole Miss

Did I miss any?

Missouri over Ole Miss.
Temple over UMass (only seen Jerry Palm consider UMass, but still)
Vanderbilt over Kentucky (long shot)

I think the two biggest games are ones you mentioned in Butler/LaSalle and NC State/Virginia. It would be huge if LaSalle and Virginia lost and then the Hawks win. I think that would seal it for Iowa.
 


If you're going by Lunardi's bracket then we need Tennessee over Alabama not the other way around. Tennessee was Last 4 In while Bama was one spot ahead of Iowa on Next 4 Out. A Bama win would keep them ahead of Iowa and possibly Tennessee. Although if Iowa and Bama wins Iowa could jump both. I see now, yes Bama over Tennessee.
 




Tennessee vs. Alabama is probably a good game for us either way. The winner is probably in and the loser is probably out but I will be pulling for Tennessee.

Why do we want Indiana over Illinois? Is it because we played them twice...we beat Illinois?
 




Bubble Watch:
Stephen F. Austin over SE Louisiana (SFA is probably not in the NCAAs if they lose in the Southland tourney, but it would be nice to see them win it just in case.)
Memphis over Tulsa

I don't think Bama is in with a win.

Is Tennessee out with a loss? That's the question for me. Otherwise, Alabama could win again on Saturday and then we have a problem.

I think Tenn could get in without a win depending on others. But 1 would secure it. Alabama probably needs a couple. That's just my opinion..I'm no expert.

I guess I was just saying it isn't a winner is in thing. It's more complicated.

I agree. The whole damn thing is complicated...other than the Hawks have to win tomorrow or none of this matters. We can all cheer for our favorite color on Saturday if Iowa doesn't take care of Sparty.

I was debating that one but I chose Alabama because they were rated lower than Tennessee. My logic is how can Alabama jump over Iowa when they beat a bubble team while Iowa has to beat MSU?

Yes, Indiana winning helps our RPI more since Iowa played them twice, the same is true with why we want Nebraska and Wisconsin to win.
 


Tennessee is probably getting in even if they lose, not so for Alabama.

Iowa needs Tenn to win so Alabama is officially off the bubble.
A Tenn loss would put them neck-and-neck with Iowa on the bubble and move Alabama up there too.

Need to have UT win that one.
