NCAA Basketball: Tuesday Recap

Tuesday's games exposed one "pretender" that had been gain some consideration for the NCAA tournament. Nebraska lost at Colorado. Nebraska has not won a game on the road yet this year and if they can't win against a team like Colorado then it's highly unlikely that they will win enough road games to garner serious consideration for an NCAA bid.

Another team whose tournament resume receiced a black mark on Tuesday was Miami (FL). Miami's loss to Boston College could be detrimental come March. These two teams may be fighting for a tourney spot in March

Other teams that helped themselves last night:

Creighton - their win over Northern Iowa won't likely influence the selection committee but Creighton cannot afford many more losses if they want to remain hopeful for an at-large bid.

Notre Dame - Another impressive performance at home for the Irish in their win over Cincinnati.

Clemson - A win over NC State probably hurts the Wolfpack more than it helps Clemson. NC State is now 0-2 in the ACC and makes their Saturday game against Miami (FL) even more important.

UNLV - I'm not convinced that the Mountain West is a two-bid league, but UNLV bounced back after their loss to Air Force with a convincing win over BYU.
