Games to Watch: March 8th, 2011

The Big East Tournament kicks off tomorrow in New York City and there is one big game in terms of bubble implications. Marquette (18-13, 9-9), enters the game squarely on the bubble and cannot afford a first round loss against Providence (15-16, 4-14). That game tips off at approximately 8:00p.m. Central on ESPN U. Should Marquette prevail, they will move on to face West Virginia on Wednesday night.

The Horizon League Championship tomorrow features Butler (22-9, 13-5) vs Milwaukee (19-12, 13-5). Right now, Butler has the profile of a bubble team but can avoid sweating out Selection Sunday with a win. Milwaukee has zero chance at an at-large bid and will need the win to secure a bid. Action kicks off at 8:00p.m. on ESPN.
