Nothing Earth shattering happened on Wednesday night despite a high number of games involving bubble and bracket teams. The biggest surprise might have been the bubble teams that lost. Richmond, Toledo, and Indiana State all saw their chances of making the tournament dwindle down to their conference tournament championships. West Virginia may not be dead but it is awful close after losing at Iowa State. And Baylor's resume took another hit with another loss, though like WVU, they lost on the road against a good team, Texas.

Thursday night heats up with Southern Miss and Louisiana Tech working on their last chances at at-large bids, Green Bay inching closer to an at-large bid even if it loses its conference tournament final, and Georgetown and Saint Mary's fighting for their survival. We're at the point of the year where spots are being locked up and the bubble is getting awfully tight. If these teams don't win, they're probably done.
