Games of Importance for the Resume: 2020 Edition

**sedziobs** · 01-30-2020, 11:58 AM

In this thread I'll track games that matter for our tournament chances. I'll separate them into two categories - one for our team sheet and one for other bubble teams. Only important games with a rooting interest will be included, and the preferred victor will be in bold.

Thursday January 30

Iowa @ Maryland

Minnesota @ Illinois
Oregon St @ Stanford
Portland @ St Mary's
Arizona @ Washington
Pepperdine @ BYU

Stanford picks up their second bad loss in as many games. The rest of their season (11 games) is all Q1 or Q2 games. Washington now has 10 losses, which probably pushes them off the bubble despite a win over Baylor.

I think WSU sucks. They got inflated because they played a cupcake schedule. I also think the league sucks. We are the 2nd best team, and we've had 1 good month of basketball.
