The Selection Eve 6 p.m. Eastern window provided plenty of bubble drama with someone definitely losing out on a bid, while the American semifinal provided a temporary reprieve.
- Georgetown is in at 13-12 following an emphatic 73-48 Big East Tournament title win over Creighton.
- San Diego State took the Mountain West crown by preventing Utah State from recording its third straight triumph, 68-57. The Hoyas did not pop the Aggies’ bubble, however. Craig Smith’s team remains just in.
- In a closely-fought American semifinal, Houston set up a Sunday contest with Cincinnati by topping Memphis, 76-74.
