The bubble begins to shrink while the university basketball season ends. Tuesday morning, Wake Forest fell in the wrong direction after a defeat of 93-60 in Duke on Monday evening.
There are 10 bubble games on Tuesday and each of them offers a team of bubbles on the road. The only home bubble team is Ohio State, which hosts its other Bubbler Nebraska. I expect that we have more clarity, if not a shorter bubble, after the action on Tuesday evening.
In addition, three conference tournaments begin while the horizon, Patriot and Sun Belt have opening matches will include opening matches.
It does not seem that we have the possibility of a tender thief among the usual unique conferences. Maybe the A-10 could have such a VCU takes place deeply in the conference tournament and does not take too much trouble. This is almost everything for this season, which is quite unusual. We do not always have a auction thief, but generally you can see certain possibilities. Last season there were six. So maybe we are due to a little calm.

Any time and
Tuesday “double bubble” game
Ohio State Nebraska
9 p.m. | Peacock
Cornhuskers are hung by a thread after losing four of their last five, more recently at home in Minnesota. They are likely. Tonight, they hit the road to face a team as desperate as they are.
Indeed, Ohio State has only 16-13 in total, a record that is never rewarded. Buckeyes have a dangerous road trip in Indiana after that, which will be important for both teams. They will probably have to win a match or two in the Big Ten tournament, no matter how they finish the regular season.
Bubble teams in action Tuesday
Georgia
In South Carolina, 6 p.m. | Dry network, fubo (Try for free)
Southern Carolina is trying to play dry bubble teams in oblivion. The Gamecocks won two consecutive games at home against Texas and Arkansas, giving significant blows to the hopes of the NCAA tournament of these teams. They opt for the hats tartar this evening against Georgia, which won two in a row after a skid of four games. Florida is one of the recent victims of Bulldogs.
North Carolina
In Virginia Tech, 7 p.m. | Expensive, fubo (Try for free)
The Tar Heels are waiting for their time until they welcome Duke on Saturday. Rinse and repeat. This is the sixth consecutive match where they can only injure themselves.
Vcu
In Duquesne, 7 p.m. | CBS Sports Network (Channel firm))
VCU has great measures but not much in the quality victory department. The best Rams victory and only Quad 1 came to Dayton. Four of their five defeats showed up to teams of non-tournament, including a quad 4 horror in Seton Hall. I do not know who can afford to lose, but it is certainly not Duquesne.
Baylor
At TCU, 8 p.m. | ESPN +
Baylor returned to the right foot with a victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday. This is another difficult match on the road where the loss could really hurt. TCU is not terrible – it is a Quad 1 game – but the Bears must beat the non -contenants wherever they play them.
Virginie-Western
at Utah, 9 p.m. | ESPN +
Virginia-Western has an interesting curriculum vitae with five quad 1 victories, three of which in the teams in the upper half of the support. Mountaineers also have losses against Pitt, TCU, Kansas State and Arizona State. They are the model of inconsistency. Utah plays the rope and does it with an temporary coach. The Utes won their first match with Josh Elles at the helm, so they don’t turn around.
Wooden state
Air Force, 9 p.m.
Boisse State won eight out of nine to resume hunting. Broncos are made with other contenders for Mountain West for the moment, and a loss for Air Force would be a disaster. The last place Falcons is n ° 317 in the net.
Indiana
In Oregon, 9 p.m. | FS1, fubo (Try for free)
Indiana has won three consecutive from a home defeat against the UCLA and is back in search of a place in the support. It is a chance of a quality victory far from her house. The Hoosiers have already won in Michigan State, but you cannot have too many good victories on the road.
Arkansa
In Vanderbilt, 10 p.m. | Dry network, fubo (Try for free)
Arkansas is barely hung and now goes to Vanderbilt, who has big victories on his parquet floor this season. More recently, the commodores eliminated the Missouri to get off the bubble. The razorbacks come out of a disastrous performance in South Carolina. They need a much better effort this evening where we could soon talk about their hopes of tournament in the past.
San Diego State
at UNLV, 11 p.m. | CBS Sports Network (Channel firm))
The Aztecs have been strong after winning nine of their last 11 games. Among these victories are victories over the state of wood and new-mexic. They also have off -conference victories on 1 seeded Houston and Creighton. The state of San Diego lost the first match with the Runnin rebels at home, so they must avoid scanning.
