No bubble games
Thursday Game of the Day
Michigan State @ Purdue, 7 (NBCSN/Peacock)
It Was a Good Day For. ...
Saint Mary's -- SMC still lacks a Quad 1 win, so the Quad 2 win over Santa Clara was much needed. The Gaels finish the regular season hosting Gonzaga. Win that one and the Gaels erase any doubt (if any) they belong in the NCAA Tournament.
It Was a Bad Day For. ...
Ohio State -- The Buckeyes are now 1-10 vs. Quad 1 opponents after a non-competitive loss @ Iowa. Beating Purdue on Sunday in Columbus is now mandatory if they want to sniff March Madness.
