Additionally to these teams, there will be 16 games happening tonight that involve teams that are either already in the NCAA Tournament as at-larges, or on the bubble. They are:

UCLA 78, Cal 46 5 minutes left
La Salle 33, Temple 43 halftime
Pittsburgh vs. Louisville
Missouri vs. Nebraska
Tulane vs. Memphis
Toledo vs. Kent State
Alabama vs. Florida
Charlotte vs. Massachusetts
Boston College vs. Maryland
Oregon vs. Washington State
TCU vs. UNLV
Marquette vs. Notre Dame

Teams in bold represent either at-large or on the bubble as of today.

I'll continue to keep you updated on these games as well as the Alabama-Florida game which I am attending.
Speaking of which, Florida's fans have already started their "Go Gators" chant, and Bama fans quickly fired back with shouts of "Roll Tide". This should be a fun one.
