Bubble Watch

Still On The Bubble:



MVC: Illinois St.
Colonial: VCU
SEC: Kentucky
CUSA: UAB, Houston
Mountain West: New Mexico

Improved Resume:
Texas A&M beat K-State and now looks almost a lock.
Saint Marys became a lock with the movement on the bubble.
Kent State become a lock with the movement on the bubble.
Saint Josephs beat Xavier and now looks like a almost lock regardless of the A10 championship tonight.
Temple can secure an auto bid with a win over hometown rivals Saint Josephs.
Arkansas is now a lock with its win.

Hurt Resume:
Villanova pretty much had to beat GTOWN to get into the Tourney, but with the newest losses Nova might still have a chance.
Arizona might have played themselves into a NIT bid regardless of their SOS.
Arizona St. lost to USC, and it might have doomed the Sun Devils to the NIT.
Dayton lost to Xavier, and with Xavier losing to Saint Josephs last night, Dayton is looking like a NIT berth waiting to happen.
Florida St. lost to UNC, and pretty much sealed their fate as a NIT contender.
UMass now looks like they will miss the tourney with that loss to Charlotte.
Ohio St. had to beat MSU for the second time in a week to secure their chance to dance, instead the NIT will host the national title contenders from a year ago.
Kansas St. will be watching selection sunday with their fingers crossed after losing to Texas A&M
Baylor will be sweating sunday out with KState after the A&M win.
Oregon NIT? could be after blowing a chance at Wazzu.

Bracketology now has Gonzaga as a #7 seed again playing Arkansas with a second round draw of Kansas, this draw even seems more favorable than the last one of UCLA, hmmm.
