Feb 26 - Feb 29 Tracking the Bubble + Games

This is nonsense

We'll see in a few weeks. That end of game performance last night was fugly.

 

[Jasoncuse]

There will be bid stealers, so I really don't know how we get in unless we win at least our next 4.

Each of the above games could go our way... or the other way.

I would like 3 of the following 4 to lose - Kansas St, Missouri, Alabama, Baylor.

TCU ahead of Baylor currently? We also really want Tenn.

TCU probably safer than Baylor.

Mississippi State a slight favorite over Tennessee tonight. Go Vols.

There shouldn't be that many bid stealers. My best guess is 2.

Middle Tennessee St + Nevada + Rhode Island/St. Bonnie + Gonzaga/St. Mary's/

Loyola + Louisiana are real long shots as an at-large.

The Pac-12 tournament is wide open given the turmoil at Arizona. Somebody could steal a bid there.

I am hoping one of Arizona, Arizona St, USC, takes it, but you are correct there is more exposure in that tournament than any of the power conferences or the Big East or the AAC.

Out of four two of them are not going to have the best two teams win???baloney

 

[jncuse]

As I said before, I see tonight's game as crucial. The 7 games have no large favourites, so they can go either way. They need to go our way at this point

A good start so far... but it's only a start. 0-2-1 for the bubble teams, combined down by 11.

This one would be nice if Iowa St, because Oklahoma St is probably a 3 game winning streak from being near that line.

Look at Rhode Island tonight -- losing 35-16, to a .500 A-10 team. Anything can happen.

not sure why uri is considered a lock anyway-
3 best wins are home seton hall, provy, bonnies

Washington 9
Boise St 8
Marquette 5
Nebraska 4
Temple 4
Western Kentucky 4

 

[jncuse]

Missouri starting to pull away up 6. Will not be too bad if the 2 other SEC Games hold.

 

[pearl31]

lol URI down 30 at home vs a sub-500 team

 

[jncuse]

Rhode Island is safe. There are enough crappy teams that a 7-4 team in Q1/Q2, with no bad losses (until a really bad Quad 4 one tonight) will be fine. It's hard to ignore an RPI of #8.

Yup. Besides SJU their losses are road losses to Nevada, SBU, Bama and a neutral court loss to UVA. Just about every team in the country has had a bad night against somebody.

Yes, you want Dixon to win that game.

 

[pearl31]

well done, Vols

 

[jncuse]

Good first half of the games. (bubble went 1-2)

Mississippi St down by 23!
Alabama down by 25!
Missouri will win

Need no worse than 2-2 in the 9:00 session (Cheer against bold team)
Baylor vs Oklahoma (let's go Trae)
Kansas St vs TCU (Win one for the Jerk Store)
St Bonaventure vs Davidson
Boise St vs San Diego St

 

[jncuse]

Bonnies up 15-4. I guess it's time to let them go.

The real benefit is you add one more team in the A-10 against a bid stealer. As long as one of Rhode Island or St.Bonaventure win the A-10 it will be good for us.

 

[jncuse]

Baylor up 1 early, but has 8 fouls in the first 8 minutes.

I would agree we want OU but the bubble seems to be in their future if they lose another one tonight. That would be 10 losses in their last 13 games, many of them by double digits. They are really struggling.
