The big news of the night is North Carolina State doing what Miami could not on Saturday and beating Duke in Durham. The win vaults the Wolfpack 10 spots up my seed list, enough to get them into a First Four game. There's a number of intriguing games tomorrow, but from a bubble perspective I'll be keeping my eye on Kansas State and Iowa State. A win for either team would go a long ways to getting off the bubble for good.

4: Louisville, Virginia, Notre Dame, Cincinnati
