The ESPN Bubble watch has 10 spots left, after locks, if their are no more pops like last night with Clev St. Just a quick look at Bubble teams and numbers I have a hard time seeing Aub pass so many teams. You are correct in the definition of bubble though, Big 10/12 can bounce some bubbles in the first round with some upsets.

St. John's...damn...making Marquette look like the top 6 team they once were.

Well, ND's now unofficially officially done.

Yep...total egg laid by the Irish. They were unlikely anyway.
Big East Tourney hopefully picks up with the big 8 tomorrow. Yawner so far.
Syracuse playing for seed tonight. They lose to SHU and they could drop to an 8. They win and win another, likely a 5.

assuming florida beats arkansas, i think it can be assured that the winner between auburn-florida will get in

Absolutely, Howard. Watch those little monkeys run!

If you're not watching MTSM vs. RMU...you're missing out.

Oh man, they could have T'd up RMU right there!!!!!

Did they at least still get to have the sermon?
Posted on 3/11/09 at 11:13 pm to BraveTiger225
225, I still have to think A&M is in.
Tonight's loss broke a 6 game win streak.
Quality wins:
vs Arizona
vs LSU
vs Oklahoma State
vs Texas
vs Mizzou
Hurtful Losses:
vs Tulsa (still a top 100 team)
@ Baylor (...100 team)
vs top 100: 8-8
vs top 50: 5-6
A&M's only drawback is their lackluster play on the road...best win was @ Nebraska.
STill, TTU isn't like losing to DePaul. They are a hot team who recently beat Kansas and may very well make another upset tomorrow.
A&M is "bubblish" but at 23-9/9-7 in the 4th best conference = IN.

In, but hardly a lock anymore. And things can still change giving the nature of conference tournaments. We shall see.

What's going on with Bowling Green and you?

My brackets are completely redone. I took my time on this redo. See what you think...

MORE GEMS FROM KCBASKETBALL
"Vandy is not good at all."
They beat the SEC champs at their house.
"Zona will not lose 8 games"
You're right...they'll lose MORE!
"You really think Butler will lose 2 more games?"
Well, I guess so...
"ND with 12 losses? Naw"

This looks like a VAER WEAK bracket!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's near as weak as you may think. Pitt is obviously the strongest of the bunch, but Memphis and Duke are both talented, and Florida State has the ability to jump up and make a run if Toney Douglas can get some help from his boys.
Several chances for early-round upsets, though, if that's what you mean by weak. The 11, 12 and 13 in this region could all be dangerous.

Not bad. Just a few points of contention.
1. I just don't see how 9 Big Ten teams can make it. Barring some major runs, there just isn't room for Penn State, Minnesota AND Michigan (maybe 2 of 3).
2. I have Florida in as my last team today, but that spot is very fickle right now. How are they a 9 seed? Just curious.
3. I would swap Marquette and UCLA in the South region. Marquette, unless they can beat Villanova and maybe get another win, took a big hit in seeding with the loss of Dominic James and the loss of three subsequent games near the end of the season.

The MAC is a farked up league this year. There was about a 20-way tie for every seed in the tournament. Bowling Green is a pure guess. But no worse a guess than anyone else's.
