Not too much happening over the next 3 days.  Some teams start on Wednesday.

Here is current bubble per the bracket matrix.   I think everyone above Arizona St on the matrix has locked a bid no matter what happens this week.

Team / % in / Avg Seed
- I view the low risk teams as probably being safe even if they lose their first game.  But they probably do not want to risk it.

[B]Low Risk Bubble Teams[/B]
8th Last In -  [B]Arizona St[/B] - 94% (9.98)
7th Last In - [B]Indiana[/B] - 97% (10.26)
6th Last in - [B]Texas Tech[/B] - 97% (10.32)
[B]High Risk Bubble Team[/B],
5th Last in - [B]Xavier[/B] - 94% (10.67)
4th Last in - [B]Stanford[/B] - 81% (10.99)
3rd Last In - [B]Wichita St[/B] - 68% (10.55)
2nd Last In - [B]Richmond [/B]- 75% (11.05)
Last in - [B]Cincinnati[/B] - 69% (11.26)
[B]Currently Out - Less Work Needed to get In, maybe...[/B]
First Out - [B]UCLA - [/B]38%
Second Out - [B]Texas - [/B]35%
Third Out - [B]NC St - [/B]31%
[B]Currently Out - Signifcant Work needed[/B]
Fourth Out -  [B]Miss St[/B] - 8%
Fifth Out -  [B]Northern Iowa [/B]- 8%
Sixth Out - [B]Purdue[/B] - 5%

The bubble really comes down to selecting P5 teams or teams in the stronger mid-majors (American, A-10)  The American and A-10 are probably the most interesting tourney's this weekend in terms of bubble busters.

Nothing really happened today.  Since Gonzaga will face St. Mary's for the WCC Championship, the WCC will not have a bubble buster as expected
