Indiana Tuesday the big victory among the bubble teams on Tuesday. The Hoosiers won the Michigan State 71-67, denying the Spartan coach Tom Izzo, the record of all time in victories by a coach in the Big Ten conference. He is currently tied with the legend of Indiana Bobby Knight with 353 Big Ten victories.
The victory pushes the IU to 3-10 against the Quad 1 teams and it is the best of these victories. It will also be true at the end of the season. The defeat broke a skid of five games and installed the Hoosiers for a three -game home stand that includes games with UCLA and PURDUE.
SMU humble Pitt 83-63 in a “double bubble” game. It is the best victory of the season for the Mustangs, although it is not quite a victory of Quad 1. They have home matches that come from Wake Forest and Clemson sandwiched around a trip to Our Lady. These home matches can have a lot to say about the question of whether SMU is an NCAA tournament team.
The Panthers fall to 1-8 in quad 1 games and have defeats in each of the Quad 2 and Quad 3. They have now lost four in a row and eight out of 10. Six of their seven regular season games are against Teams with triple -Dedigit the net classification. These games are “must not lose”, but they will also have to win in Louisville.
Byu was also a big winner, beating Virginia-Western 73-69 in Morgantown. It is the best victory for the cougars of the season so far. They also beat Baylor, who is ranked above than the Mountaineers, but this match was at home. There are no more “gadgets” in the Byu calendar, but it also means opportunities to build his curriculum vitae every time he speaks.
Wednesday’s calendar offers only failure opportunities for bubble teams in action. No one has a game that can help their curriculum vitae.

Bubble teams in action Wednesday
Wake Forest
vs Florida State, 7 p.m. (espnu)
Wake Forest has four very won home games on their calendar and because it is only 1-6 against the cistillar opposition, winning these games is a must. The first is when the Seminoles coach Leonard Hamilton paid his last visit to Wake Forest before retiring at the end of the season.
Ohio State
Against Washington, 8:30 p.m. (Big Ten network)
Buckeyes have shown that they are able to get big victories. They won MacKey Arena against Purdue and beat Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately, there are still only 8-10 against the first three quadrants. This is the first of a three-game house which is important for their post-season hopes because three of their last four are on the road.
Arkansa
vs lsu, 9 p.m. (espn2)
The Arkansas won three Quad 1 victories, including a victory in Texas last Wednesday. Despite this, the Razorbacks are only 4-9 against the first two quadrants and 7-9 against Quads 1-3. This is an essential game because the Arkansas may not be favored more than twice in its last six games. It will take more than two victories in these matches to feel any level of comfort entering the SEC tournament.
New Mexico
vs Wyoming 10 p.m. (FS1)
In simple terms, the lobos can not afford another loss of quad 4. The New Mexico has a good chance of winning the Mountain West, but that means winning the matches it should win. This is one of the three at least three of those who stay in the lobotal calendar.
