5 BOROUGH SPORTS

Since my updated Bubble Watch last night, there have only been a few games of note for Sunday.

Xavier ended Dayton’s at-large hopes today with a victory at the Flyers home court. West Virginia avoided an upset at Rutgers, and UConn defeated Cincinnati.

Michigan State got destroyed by Purdue at home, and continue to sit tenuously on the bubble but for now remain in for their quality wins. The Spartans are now 8-8 in conference are must win against Iowa this week, before their showdown in Michigan. The game next weekend might be more important for the Wolverines, but Michigan State won’t feel comfortable with a loss there unless less win a game or two in the tournament.

Purdue remains a two seed with their strong showing today on the road.

Louisville beat Pittsburgh and helped themselves out a bit. Pittsburgh remains a one-seed but barely. The Panthers will likely have to win out until the Big East tournament Semi’s or Finals if they want to hold on to it.

Marquette continued playing well by beating Providence and should feel pretty comfortable right now despite the many losses they have.

Maryland missed an opportunity to upset UNC in Chapel Hill and the Terps remain outside of the field as their chances to impress us with any good win is running out.

Washington State got a big win tonight by upseting Washington on the road. The Cougars are now back in the race and with home games against USC and UCLA remaining, they have a chance to play themselves into the field. For now they remain a bit of a ways out, but they do have a decent chance because of the remaining schedule.
