No intro today, as I’m just throwing this together before X plays. You know the drill.
Louisville v. Virginia, noon, ESPN
National Coach of the Year frontrunner David Padgett makes his case for a long-term contract tournament bid against Virginia. If games were 39 minutes, 59.1 seconds long, Louisville would have already beaten UVa once and sealed their bid. A win here would remedy that wrong. A loss would leave at 5-13 in the top 2 quadrants and in Dayton at best.
TCU v. Kansas State, 12:30pm, ESPN2
Kansas State would need a lot of bad luck to fall out even with a loss, but a win here more or less seals their participation.
