Bubble Watch

Still On The Bubble:


BIG 12: Kansas St.
MVC: Illinois St.
Colonial: VCU
SEC: Kentucky, Arkansas
CUSA: UAB, Houston
BIG TEN: Ohio St.
Mountain West: New Mexico
A10: Saint Josephs, UMass, Temple

Improved Resume:
Florida St. got itself a nice matchup with #1 UNC and if they can pull out the miracle win, they would become a lock.
Texas A&M won but might still have to beat K-State to get into the dance.
Miami became a lock with the win over NC State.

Hurt Resume:
Villanova pretty much had to beat GTOWN to get into the Tourney.
Mississippi is probably out after the worst case scenario loss to Georgia.
Arizona might have played themselves into a NIT bid regardless of their SOS.
Florida with the loss, its offically over in Gainesville.
Arizona St. loss to USC might have doomed the Sun Devils to the NIT.

May not matter for resume:
Baylor lost but may still get in as an at large regardless.
Dayton lost to Xavier, but with wins over Louisville and Pitt earlier this year they may still get into the dance.
Oregon Beating Wazzu would have helped Mr. Kent get his ducks into the dance, without it, they are very much on the bubble.

Bracketology has Gonzaga as a #8 Seed now, with a Second round draw of UCLA, at first when i saw that i was a little miffed, but it would be on the west coast and i would like a crack at UCLA. Revenge for 2005's Ref led win for UCLA.
