Mods feel free to merge, I'm just super pumped for a big night of basketball, thought it deserved it's own thread.

As many know, UT currently sits as the last team in according to Joe Lunardi, and is the first team out according to bracket matrix. So regardless how you feel about their standing, without being exact we can say they're in the first four out or better group.

Well obviously Tennessee plays tonight, and that's where the focus needs to start obviously, gotta win that or none of the bubble talk matters. However, as fans we can watch the other bubble games and get excited, with that said, what a night for college basketball.

I don't know where you're located, but here in Knoxville it's cold and snowing...get you a pizza, a 12 pack and watch some good college ball that are meaningful games for Tennessee from about 7pm-1am. Here's the list of impact full games tonight...4 of these are teams are right in front of us, so it's plausible if we win tonight we could move firmly into most bracket projections and not the last four in/first four out group.

GAMES OF INTEREST 3/6/13
team in bold is who you should be rooting FOR.

9pm TENNESSEE @ Auburn


7pm Oklahoma St. @ Iowa State
7pm North Carolina @ Maryland
7pm Georgetown @ Villanova
7pm Temple @ Fordham
7pm George Washinhton @ La Salle
9pm West Virginia @ Oklahoma
11pm Stanford @ Cal


I plan on also using this as basically a running game thread for the games tonight, for anyone that also is planning on watching or looking for scores/updates.

GBO!!!

I have class all day long until 6:30 so it will be nice to come home to so many games. Are most of these on ESPN3?

I also want to commend BTO. He's been killing it with all of his bubble coverage and analysis. Keep up the good work, bro!

No problem guys, I love this time of year. I'll edit this in to the OP, but add it here too I was pumped forgot to add...4 of the teams playing tonight are right in front of us. If we win it's possible we could jump from last team in, to the 5th or 6th to last team in and really put ourselves in good position.

I hope we don't choke and lose this game at Auburn. We are clearly the better team but it is senior night for them and they do play a lot better at home. They beat Bama by 12 down there. Hopefully the shots will be falling and we can get this game. This will either keep our NCAA hopes alive or send us into the NIT right away.

Bracketologists have that loss at Auburn down as probably Alabama's worst loss. So, yeah, need a win tonight.

The UGA was not a real good game for Golden. He did do some intangibles that did not show up on the stat sheet; however, had he score about 12 points, we would have won.

His first point in the game came with 2 minutes left, when he hit a free throw...

Hope he has a good game. We don't need a great game from him but just a good game.....

Thanks for posting, Bleeder. Yikes, all the teams we want to win are visiting, minus one.

What's your reasoning on Bucknell?
Conference leader. Probably best if they win their tourney.

I've been to several AU games this year already. Stokes should have a field day down low tonight. Chubb and Dixon-Tatum are pretty soft. As long as we don't let Frankie get in a rhythm and prevent Denson from getting to the basket we'll be fine.

Chubb being soft will prevent them from scoring. Hopefully we will be up for the challenge.
