Some really big games. I dont think SJU is a tourney team this year but if they want to be, beating VCU would be a start. Butler needs to win cause Vandy sucks and they would get Arizona next. SHU is obvious as Florida is a bubble team and u get Gonzaga next if u win. Im hoping for 2-1.

The Seton Hall game is huge. Win and it's Gonzaga and then likely either Iowa St or Miami. Lose and it's Quinnipiac and then likely Stanford. A HUGE SOS difference there. Plus you win and get another win, likely ranked I would think come Monday.... Even going just 2-1 this weekend....

The St John's game is last chance to get a quality win in Atlantis. Tomorrow's game(LSU/ODU) won't help them at all.

The Butler game is big because you want to see Arizona for a chance to get ranked. And Vandy really just isn't that good so don't want to lose to a team like that.

Xavier played on it 3 years ago. It's not really a sports channel if I'm not mistaken. I saw most people on twitter didn't have it... here's a link to see if you do

It's more of a music station. They play concerts and stuff. I have it on my sling TV and was happy when it popped up because I knew every SJU game in this tourny would be on it.

It's Mark Cuban's channel if I remember correctly. I couldn't find the channel last night but I recalled having watched games on it previously, so I found my cable channel guide and it was something I used to receive, but no longer do.

Obviously winning this game would give SHU a nice SOS boost, but it's not like a loss kills them. They have enough quality neutral/road games that their SOS should be solid regardless
