2/20/26-10:00 AM

Indiana at Purdue sticks out as the clear game of the night in college basketball. IU will attempt to go into a frustrated Mackey Arena tonight to pull off a series sweep for the 2025-26 season. For Purdue, it is a must-win game. Not only for seed lines. The senior class for Purdue is 3-4 all time in this rivalry game vs IU. Smith, Loyer, and TKR will try to finish strong and end up at .500 against the Hoosiers in their careers. Saint Louis and VCU square off at 7:00 tonight and it is a huge game for both teams. VCU can find themselves very close to an at-large bid with a win and if Saint Louis loses they will fall dangerously close to the bubble.

2/10/26-

 Kansas gets the biggest win of the year and defeats the unbeaten Arizona, 82-78. Flory Bidunga dominated. Kansas goes up a seed line to a 2. They get a huge leap to the 6th overall team in the field. Yes, they do have 5 losses but their wins include Arizona, Iowa St, Tennessee, and Texas Tech on the road. Even though Arizona lost, they remain the number one overall team. Fran Fraschilla was talking about how Arizona should not move down after losing to Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. I agree. NC State takes a tumble towards the bubble after the embarrassing loss to Louisville who jumped a couple of teams in the 6 line. Indiana took NC States place on the 8 seed line after the blowout win vs Oregon and Lamar Wilkerson's 40 point performance.

SEED LIST BELOW
1/21/26- UCLA gets a huge win over Purdue at home. They move up to the 10-seed line while Purdue takes a huge tumble all the way down to the 3. People will argue about BYU being above Purdue, but BYU has two "good" losses versus UConn and Texas Tech. Utah State being upset last night hurts their case for an at-large bid, but they barely hang on to it. I have Georgia at a 5 seed, which is very high compared to a lot of other bracketologists on the matrix. I think they don't get enough credit for how they are playing. Vanderbilt just hangs on to that 4 line because they beat Alabama head-to-head. Mark Pope is reviving Kentucky's season these past couple of weeks, and they have a huge one tonight against Texas. It is equally as big for Texas as they can further strengthen their case as a bubble team.
