Seed List: Purdue slides to No. 1 + Bracket Impact Games

With help from Kansas State last night, Purdue reclaims its No. 1 overall position on the seed list.  Kansas dropped to No. 2, with Alabama and Houston in pursuit.

Seed List

Along the bubble, Wake Forest’s win over Clemson – combined with Nevada’s loss to Boise State – pushed the Demon Deacons back into the First Four heading into action on Wednesday night.  Nevada falls into the First Four OUT.

Wednesday’s Bracket Impact Games:

• West Virginia (vs. TCU) – The Mountaineers are 0-5 in Big 12 play.  They need to change that narrative.
• Ohio State (at Nebraska) – The Buckeyes have lost four straight, including a home loss to Minnesota.  A loss in Lincoln would add to the current angst in Columbus and push OSU to the cutline.
• Virginia Tech (at Virginia) – The Hokies’ recent slide coincides with their current standing outside the Field.  Golden opportunity to reverse course.
• Oklahoma at Oklahoma State – Cowboys should have an immense sense of urgency.  Sooners trying to move up and away from the current bubble.
• Arkansas at Missouri – Absences have taken a toll on the Razorbacks.  Who gets back on track?
• Connecticut (at Seton Hall) – It’s been a surprising couple of weeks for the Huskies who are trying to avoid a fifth loss in six games.  SHU has reached the fringes of the bubble.
• Providence at Marquette – The Friars won the first meeting in double overtime.  A victory puts Marquette in position to gain a seed line.  Providence is currently riding the 5-6 line.
