NFL Draft is coming up!
Kansas took a bad loss to Cincinnati Wednesday night in the Big 12 Tournament — not in the sense of the Bearcats being poorly rated, but it was a 20-point blowout. Most teams would be in trouble without their top two players, and the Jayhawks are no exception. Depth has been an issue for them all season, even at full strength. Kansas fell down to a 4-seed with the loss; Illinois moves up to replace them as a 3-seed.
Clemson also dropped a seed line in the bracket after getting pounded by Boston College. The Tigers have been maddeningly inconsistent and are now 5-5 against each of the top two quadrants.
It was a great night for the bubble teams, though, which went 4-0. Villanova needed every second against DePaul to come out on top. A loss to the Blue Demons would have rated as one of the worst conference tournament losses ever by a bubble team. ‘Nova still has work to do, though.
Kansas State picked up a big victory against Texas and will also need to keep winning. The Wildcats face Iowa State today after splitting their two regular-season meetings.
Today is arguably the biggest day for bubble teams with ffour “double bubble” games on tap, and many of the bubble teams will be done playing after today.
All times Eastern.
