It’s finally the time of year where you can cast an eye to the basketball standings, the bubble, and the games taking place and know that they have some bearing on those two glorious weeks in March. Xavier isn’t playing after their third shutdown, so catching the Musketeers isn’t an option. (And an excellent comment from Clarkadrummage points out that the ongoing health of the players who have tested positive should be our first concern, not missed games.) There are games aplenty for a frigid Saturday better spent inside.
Most of the conference is in action today. In fact, only Xavier, Villanova, and Georgetown don’t play today and that’s in part because Nova and Georgetown play tomorrow.
