OK thanks

It is an insult for us to behind a 12-12 Indiana team, 11-9 Duke team or a 13-10 MSU team.

Winning matters.

A debate can be had on who is the better team...I don't think there is a debate on who is more deserving.

We need Duke to beat Georgia Tech tonight. I think Duke is in regardless, but that could knock GT out since they have those two bad losses in the non conference.

Tech wins tonight loses @Wake...They get real bubbly

Duke Loses tonight and @ UNC...They're done for at larges.

I’ll believe Duke is not in when I see it.

I feel the same way about Michigan State as well. If they are on the bubble that is one bubble spot gone already.

ditto UNC

Georgia Tech just made the tournament and (hopefully) just knocked out Puke.

Even Lunardi couldn't defend Duke (11-11) on his latest video.. He stated Duke has to win the ACC tourney to make it to the NCAA Tourney..

Memphis Tigers

Careful observers of mock brackets have watched with mounting interest these past few weeks as Memphis has climbed steadily closer to the cut line. The Tigers aren't in the field yet, but they're close enough to the last at-large bid to merit consideration here at Bubble Watch. With a NET ranking right around No. 60, Penny Hardaway's team has one beautiful opportunity remaining at Houston. Needless to say, a road win against the Cougars is the richest prize, by far, the American has to offer. Capturing that prize could well lift Memphis up into the "last four in" or "first four out" territories.

Game day. Go tigers.

We also need Loyola to crush drake in the mvc finals today.

We may end up in similar position to drake on selection Sunday , but if they win the mvc that’s one bubble spot gone.

Lunardi thinks Wichita state is safe without a bad loss in conference tournament. Means we have to move enough heads to make it a 3 bid league.

The man behind the curtain...

Wichita will be the 1 seed
We will be the 2 or 3 seed
So we cannot play Wichita until the finals and will most likely play Houston in semifinals should both win their quarters
Would think losing to Wichita in the finals with either one or two wins over Houston would be enough but it will be dicey

If WSU loses early then we would need to beat whoever that is or they will take our possible bid

Winning today is huge. Winning the quarter is huge. Win these two and absent a bad loss we are bubbly as hell

Current net rankings for Memphis, Kentucky, and Duke are 53, 58, and 59 respectively.

This makes no sense to me. Their analytics are bad. They have played fewer games. And we absolutely waxed them in our only head to head. Yes, they have a win over Houston. If we match that today, then how can they possibly be safely in and we still have work to do?
I'm guessing the pundits have been playing politics due to the coaching situation (they hated Marshall, like the new guy, and love the storyline) - and propping up the Wichita brand to try to influence the committee.
