HorizonSaturday’s Conference Tourney Pregame Shootaround: OVC title day; can the Shockers stay perfect?--CollegeBasketballTalk
Down to four in the HL. After today the league takes a break until March 11 with the championship game coming on the highest-seed home floor. Chances are that will mean we stay in Green Bay as the Phoenix are going to be heavy favorites to prevail over Milwaukee on their home floor today.
#2 Cleveland State vs. #3 Wright State - 7:00 p.m.
#1 Green Bay vs. #5 Milwaukee - 9:30 p.m.
Horizon League: It’ll be an interesting day of semifinal action at the Horizon League Tournament in Green Bay’s arena as the top-seeded Phoenix host Milwaukee and Wright State takes on Cleveland State. Green Bay went 14-2 in the Horizon League this season, but its only home loss came to Milwaukee. Wright State and Cleveland State split the season series with each team winning on the road.2014 Horizon League Semifinal Game Recap: Milwaukee Outlasts a Hobbled Green Bay to Reach Finals--Mid-Major Madness

Horizon League Semifinals
No. 3 Wright State Raiders (19-13, 11-6) vs. No. 2 Cleveland State Vikings (21-10, 12-4), 7 p.m. (ESPN3)
No. 5 Milwaukee Panthers (19-13, 8-9) vs. No. 1 Green Bay Phoenix (24-5, 14-2), approx. 9:30 p.m. (ESPNU)
It's a pair of intrastate battles in Green Bay. First, the Vikings, who have lost just once since January 22nd will look to end the Raiders' five-game winning streak by claiming the rubber match between the pair. The nightcap, meanwhile, is also a surprising season-series decider. The Panthers actually won at the Resch Center -- by 10 -- exactly one month ago.

Guard Jason Calliste scored 18 points off the bench for the Ducks, while forward Mike Moser scored 10 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and point guard Johnathan Loyd had 16 points, two rebounds and three steals. Wildcats forward Aaron Gordon made two free throws with just under eight minutes to go to give his team a six-point lead, but Calliste drilled a three less than a minute later, prompting the Wildcats to call timeout. Oregon pulled within two at the six-minute mark when forward Ben Carter tipped a missed three by Calliste out to guard Joseph Young, who buried a triple. Calliste and Loyd took over from there, scoring 11 points over the final five minutes to put the game out of reach.Resurgent Oregon upsets No. 3 Arizona 64-57--USA Today

BUBBLE TEAMS WHOSE STOCK FELL SATURDAY:Poppin' Bubbles: Oregon and Tennessee are the big winners--Eye On College Basketball
• Green Bay (24-6, 14-2): The downside of conference tournaments for mid-major league champs is that an entire season's worth of good work can unravel in one night. Such is the case for Green Bay, which fell behind by 13 points in the first half against Milwaukee in the Horizon League semis, rallied to force overtime and then ran out of steam. The chances of Green Bay surviving that loss and earning an at-large bid are slim, but the Phoenix do have a similar profile to the Middle Tennessee team that received a spot in the First Four last March. Green Bay has a great win over Virginia and a respectable No. 52 RPI, but the Phoenix's next best win came against Tulsa and it has a few bad losses in league play too.
Green Bay: For the first time this season, we have to consider the Phoenix part of the bubble. They lost in the semifinals of the conference tournament to Milwaukee, and now face an eight-day wait until Selection Sunday. Have they done enough to get consideration? The RPI is along the lines of most bubble teams, as is the non-conference SOS. The win over Virginia is also a trump card when compared to most bubble teams. Overall, the resume isn't great. They are just 4-3 against the top 100, with three sub-100 losses. It's going to be a long wait until Selection Sunday.Bracketology: Don't overreact to one game--Eye On College Basketball
