Syracuse @ Clemson: 7:00 ESPN2
This is a must-win game for Syracuse. With a loss, the Orange will likely be eliminated from contention for an at-large bid. Meanwhile, Clemson looks to build their case for a spot on the top 5 seed lines.
Brody’s pick: Clemson -9.5
Frank’s pick: Clemson -9.5
Providence @ Georgetown: 7:00 FS1
Currently, Providence is right around the cutline. With a loss to Ed Cooley’s Hoyas, Providence’s upcoming game against UConn would become a must-win.
Brody’s pick: Georgetown +7.5
Frank’s pick: Georgetown +7.5
Ole Miss @ Georgia: 7:00 SEC Network
Ole Miss has a lot of work to do to make the NCAA tournament. With a loss at Georgia tonight, the Rebels would likely have no path to earning an at-large bid.
Frank’s pick: Georgia -1.5
Cincinnati @ Oklahoma: 8:00 ESPN+
As things currently stand, it is unlikely that Cincinnati will be going dancing. A loss at Oklahoma would seal the Bearcats’ fate. Meanwhile, Oklahoma could be on the bubble with a home loss tonight.
Brody’s pick: Cincinnati +4.5
Frank’s pick: Oklahoma -4.5
Georgia Tech @ Wake Forest: 9:00 ACC Network
Currently around the cutline, Wake Forest’s path to an at-large bid would become extremely difficult with a Q3 loss to Georgia Tech.
Frank’s pick: Wake Forest -13.5
Florida State @ Pittsburgh: 9:00 ESPN2
I am seemingly higher on Pitt’s résumé than most bracketologists. The Panthers are tied for the most road wins among teams from the Power 6 conferences, including a signature win at Duke. However, a Q3 loss to Florida State tonight could eliminate the Panthers from at-large contention.
Frank’s pick: Pittsburgh -6.5
Kansas State @ Kansas: 9:00 ESPN
To maintain a chance at an at-large bid, Kansas State must beat Kansas and Iowa State this week. With a loss tonight, the Wildcats would be eliminated from at-large contention.
Frank’s pick: Kansas State +10.5
St. John’s @ DePaul: 9:00 FS1
As things currently stand, I am very confident that St. John’s should be in the projected tournament field. However, a loss at DePaul would put the Red Storm on the wrong side of the bubble. If St. John’s loses tonight or Saturday (vs Georgetown), they will need to make a deep run in the Big East tournament to feel good about their tournament chances.
Frank’s pick: DePaul +17.5
