Well another good day on the bubble for Syracuse, as the bubble as a whole continues to weaken a bit.
 
Looking at teams that are 8 seed or worse on the bracket matrix, or amongst the last 8 or so out.   These are teams that could conceivably be on the bubble.

Bad - Defined as a bad loss (sub 100 RPI), or a loss to a non tourney team, or a loss at home vs an elite top 25 team.

Good - A win over a tourney team or a win over a top 100 team on the road.

Beating a non tourney team at home is a non event.   Won't really shift your resume.

[B]BAD[/B]

Cincinnati a current 8 seed lost at RPI #245 East Carolina.

Miami a current 10 seed lost at RPI #124 Florida St

UConn (the current 11th last team out), and not really in great shape, lost at RPI #241 Houston

Washington (the current last team out), loss at [I][U]home[/U] [/I]to Cal a non tourney team.

Of course Syracuse needs to keep winning, but with all the bad that occurred this weekend, our end goal may now be 1 game closer than it was before.
