I hear you. I do agree with what you said earlier that when it comes down to it - if we just beat GaTech; we are leaving a lot up to other conference tourneys and potential bid stealers in conferences like the AAC, A10, and CUSA. That is not in a position we want to be in for obvious reasons.

I think if most conference tourneys are chalk with the favorites winning; a win vs. GaTech will be enough. While we may see a team like Houston make a run to the AAC finals and put themselves in real contention for a spot; you could also have a team like URI, Seton Hall or USC get bounced in the 1st round of their tourneys and cost themselves a chance. I feel as long as your "bubble matrix" ends up with a record around .500 next week, combined with mostly chalk winning the tourneys - we will be in a decent spot with 1 win.

5%, 50% or 90% makes sense - I mean, how can we really come up qualify a "35% chance" ?

We are on the right side of 50% with a 1-1 record. That can certainly move to the wrong side pretty quick; but I tend to think most of that stuff will balance out. Let's face it, the chances of every bubble team making a run is slim to none. The BE itself has 3 teams square in the last 4 in/last 4 out category (plus Xavier) - odds are at least 1 of those teams really struggles down the stretch and ges 0-1 in the conference tourney. Same with Northwestern/Illinois/Indiana, etc.
