The Bulle de Bracker watch returns after a few days of calm with five teams playing, including two of the new teams to the Big East bubble.
Xavier played on the bottom of the bubble with three victories in his last four. Uconn Also made an appearance after a defeat in the last place of Seton Hall.
The bubble should start to shrink as we get closer to the Sunday of selection in less than four weeks.

Bubble teams in action Tuesday
Uconn
VS Villanova, 6.30 p.m. | FS1, fubo (Try for free)
The Huskies, a seeded 9 in the last projection of supports, have a curriculum vitae full of holes. Among their eight defeats, there are two each in 2 and quad 3 and a total of five defeats against the teams which are not currently in the support. The worst of these is the last, a defeat at Seton Hall. Uconn also has five victories on teams in the support, including Texas, which is one of the “last four in”. This inconsistency is the reason why the Huskies have spent most of the season in the middle of the support and why they could possibly fall. I would always be surprised if they did.
Oklahola
In Florida, 7 p.m. | ESPN2, fubo (Try for free)
The Sooners have slipped on the support in recent weeks and now find themselves as a seeded n ° 10. It is just above the last four teams in the tranche, an area already populated by three dry teams. The next five games of Oklahoma are all against the teams sown in the top 25 of the support, although it is the most difficult of these. The last match before the SEC tournament is at its colleague Bubbler Texas. It will probably be a nervous selection on Sunday if they do not divide these last six games.
Xavier
vs butler, 8 p.m. | Peacock
Xavier. One of the “first four outings” will probably have to wait for the Big East tournament to plead fully for a place on the field. Musketeers have only one team that they can beat in this last section to help their CV. They just have to win the others too. Xavier’s margin of error is quite small.
Byu
vs kansas, 9 p.m. | ESPN, fubo (Try for free)
The cougars, a seeded n ° 11 and one of the “last four in” have won some victories since the loss of cincinnati just over a week ago. The victory of Virginia-Western was particularly good because it is a team with which Byu is in competition for a place. A victory over the Jayhawks would be its best so far by a wide margin, but it does not guarantee anything.
San Diego State
Vs fresno state, 11 p.m. | CBS Sports Network (Channel firm))
The Aztecs, a seeded seeded n ° 10, have won six of their last seven games, more recently against Boise State, giving them a scan of the season. The golden star on their curriculum vitae of the tournament is a victory over Houston in Las Vegas in November. The next two games are at Utah State and house Mountain West New Mexico City. The Aztecs would be better not to be caught while looking towards the future.
