I probably don’t need to mention this here, but the most important bubble game for Xavier is the one they are playing. Lose it and they can (maybe) pack their bags for the 16 team NIT. Win it and they essentially only hold serve and earn the chance to play a game that can actually get them in the tournament. It’s at 6PM on FS1. Don’t miss it.
The opening day of the big conference tournaments is heavy on bubble implication in the ACC. Things will heat up in earnest on Thursday.
NC State v. Syracuse, Noon, ACCN
Syracuse is the team currently most likely to take Xavier’s place if the Musketeers falter.
