The bubble faced many challenges on Tuesday with ten of the eleven teams in action to play on the road. The home team was the host of a double bubble game. Well, seven of these teams won.
But before we get there, we welcome Texas Back to the bubble. The Longhorns seemed to have wrapped it after losing six of their last seven, but they returned to life last night, beating the Mississippi State 87-82 in overtime.
Do not prevent ourselves, however. The bad end of the bubble to come back does not put you in the support. Texas still has work to do in the conference tournament, but for it to be relevant, Longhorns have to beat Oklahoma in the regular season final.

The only losers among the bubble teams on Tuesday were Indiana in Oregon, Nebraska Ohio State in the double bubble game, which was expected, and the one that hurts the most – San Diego State to aLV.
This gave the Runnin rebels a scanning of the Aztecs in the regular season. These losses, each in 2 and 3 quad, are an anchor on a curriculum vitae which is otherwise decent of the NCAA tournament.
Arkansa I obtained a big victory at Vanderbilt to stay afloat for another day. The commodores were difficult at home this season, which makes this victory by the Razorbacks more impressive. They are not yet out of the woods, but get the Mississippi State at home to end the regular season.
The city of Cincinnati occupies the stage for Wednesday’s bubble matches. Both Xavier And Cincinnati are in action this evening in the hope of staying in the race. And it wouldn’t be an evening in bubbles without a dry match. Oklahoma welcomes the Missouri who seeks to win a quality victory.

Bubble teams in action Wednesday
Cincinnati
Against the state of kansas, 7 p.m. | ESPN +
The bearcates have only 1-10 in the Quad 1 matches, which is essentially the same problem with North Carolina in the grip for a month. It’s just not good enough, but there are no quad 1 games left before the Big 12 tournament, so they must continue to win to make sure that this event can always help them.
Xavier
In Butler, 7 p.m. | CBS Sports Network (Channel firm))
The Xavier tournament CV also needs high -end juice. Musketeers are 1-9 teams against Quad 1, but this victory is in Marquette. They also beat Creighton and Uconn at home, but they are Quad Games. And like their crosstown rival, the possibility of obtaining this juice will have to wait for the conference tournament.
Oklahola
vs Missouri, 8 p.m. | ESPN +
The Sooners, like their dry Bubblers compatriots, have a high number of losses, mainly in the Quad 1, because they find it difficult to participate in the Juggernaut League. Unlike their Bubblers dry colleagues, they also have a three -time quad defeat against LSU. A victory over Mizzou would be a big boost, but their work would not yet be done and will probably go to the dry tournament.
