This will be short – because it is easy. Everything.
The Big East is playing its semi-finals – which will have Seton Hall playing Georgetown to see who gets a chance to crash the dance. And Creighton will play the winner of UConn and DePaul to see who gets to try to stop them.
The Big 12 is playing its semi-finals – kicking off with #2 Baylor vs #12 Oklahoma State with #11 Kansas waiting for the winner of #13 Texas and #20 Texas Tech
The ACC is playing its semi-finals – cant go wrong with Virgina going against Georgia Tech and Florida State waiting for the winner of Virginia Tech vs North Carolina.
The Big 10 quarterfinals are stacked – starting off with #9 Ohio State vs #20 Purdue. Then, you have #4 Michigan vs Maryland, #3 Illinois vs Rutgers, and #5 Iowa vs the Wisconsin / Penn State winner.
The SEC quarterfinals are #6 Alabama vs Mississippi State, Tennessee vs Florida, #8 Arkansas vs Missouri and LSU waiting for the Ole Miss / South Carolina team.
The Pac 12 semi-finals will be late on Friday – with Oregon playing Oregon St, and the other semi-final waiting for the winners of the USC/Utah and the Colorado/California quarters tonight.
Every single one of those games involves someone who is a lock for the tournament or someone who is on the bubble – well, unless Utah and California both pull off upsets tonight. Many of those games will likely involve two tournament teams by the time the Selection Committee announces the bracket on Sunday.
Oh – and lets not forget that the American conference quarterfinals and Mountain West conference semi-finals – both full of mid-major teams on the bubble will be playing as well.
No matter what game you turn on, it is likely going to be good. The only way to go wrong is not to watch any of them. So, enjoy what should be an amazing day of basketball – hopefully it will be as good as Thursday is – well, as long as the games all decide themselves on the court. Don’t want to see any more announcements of teams having to end their season due to quarantine.
