The Skinny: Cincinnati and Marquette log Saturday's most significant wins. Expect both to be in the next "Field of 65" projection. Winner of Gophers-Northwestern game stays in the mix (though still with a ton of work to do), the loser goes off my at-large board. ... Louisville's resume lacks a signature win. Winning @ Syracuse today would take care of that.

Thursday's Results
The most significant bubble game of the weekend? South Florida vs. Marquette in Milwaukee. Who woulda' thunk that before the season started? That's why we play the games.

Huuuuuuuuuuge game! Absolutely cannot wait for this one. Dom Jones is running his mouth a little bit too much, but I'll admit it's nice to see USF having some success... ND and Louisville, a couple of the ~6 teams in the bubble conversation from the Big East, lost last night... time for the Bulls to go down at the BC tomorrow night.. 7:30pm.. Gopher fans are invited to my house to watch the game.
