March 1, 200620 yr ESPN has a pretty good analysis of everything right here. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bubblewatch?id=17
March 1, 200620 yr Some bubble games in the big 12 tonight: Colorado at Kansas and Texas at A&M. A&M's resume is horrendous but they've been playing well as of late and with a win over Texas they can put themselves in contention for an at large. A loss though and they're done. Go Kansas and Texas. EDIT: Should definitely add the Kentucky-Tennesee game as a big bubble game tonight. Hopefully Pearl will have his team ready tonight. I hate that douche but I'm cheering for him tonight. Edited March 1, 200620 yr by Rowand44
March 2, 200620 yr Author If FSU can beat Duke tonight they could make a case for an at-large bid. FSU leads by 3 at the half.

March 2, 200620 yr QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) FSU and Texas A&M should both get in now after those wins. They both still have some work to do. A&M's resume is pretty s***ty, they're gonna have to beat Ttech and win atleast a game or two in their tourny imo. FSU needs to beat Miami and atleast 1 in the acc tourny.
March 2, 200620 yr A&M is a 100 percent lock to get in if they can win at s***ty TT, that would put them at 20-7 (10-6) and no way they are kept out then, even if they lose the first game of the Big 12 Tourney. FSU has a win over #1 Duke, was robbed of a win at #1 Duke, and is also a 100 percent lock if they win at Miami to finish 19-9 (9-7). At least one of them is in, i'd be very surprised if both aren't. Kentucky is also a lock now, 19-10 (9-6) very good RPI, and they are Kentucky. Edited March 2, 200620 yr by whitesoxfan101

Kentucky is also a lock now, 19-10 (9-6) very good RPI, and they are Kentucky. Both have rpi's in the 50's, sos's around 100, A&M has 2 top 50 wins while FSU has one. They both have a shot to get in but both are far from locks imo.
March 2, 200620 yr Author Well, Colorado lost big so it doesn't look like they'll be in and any very slim chance that Nebraska had went out the window with a loss at home to K State. So, that makes A&M the fourth team out of the Big 12 to get in. Indiana looks like they'll be in now giving the Big 10 7 teams and FSU should probably be in with another win giving the ACC 5 teams.

March 3, 200620 yr Author There's one game to keep an eye on tonight as Syracuse takes on DePaul. A Syracuse win would guarantee them at least a .500 record in the Big East and help their case for an at-large.
March 3, 200620 yr I am going to be watching Cal and UCLA closely tonight also, Cal has a shot to really solidify thier chances tonight with a win.
March 3, 200620 yr Author I should also mention that if UAB beats Memphis tonight they'll probably be in.
March 3, 200620 yr Syracuse got destroyed by DePaul, but they are still only 1 win away from 20 for the season, and that, along with them being Syracuse and from the Big East, means I still like their chances unless they lose to Villanova (which they will) and in the 1st round of the Big East Tourney, although I guess that could happen depending on matchups. Arizona won tonight a close one at home over Wazzou. They are 18-10 (11-6), which doesn't seem all that wonderful in the weak ass PAC 10, but they have a very good RPI due to their OOC schedule, so they are in great shape IMO. UAB has defeated Memphis to move to 21-5 (11-2), which I would think means they can just about make their reservations for Mid March.
March 3, 200620 yr Cal, who would have been in great shape to be the #4 PAC 10 team to make the tourney, blows a lead and suffers a crushing home loss to UCLA in Overtime.

March 4, 200620 yr Author A big win for Cincy over West Virginia should get them a bid into the tournament.
March 5, 200620 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) Florida State picks up another big W @ Miami They're still out on Bracketology and rightfully so. s***ty RPI (58), terrible non-conference schedule, 1-5 vs RPI top 50 and they've beaten ONE team that'll be in the tournament. If they are in over any of the MVC teams who are on the bubble, complete bulls***.

If they are in over any of the MVC teams who are on the bubble, complete bulls***. I think it's pretty much a lock that all of the Big 6 from the Valley will get in except Creighton, but if somebody is left out because of FSU I'd agree it's bulls***.
March 5, 200620 yr Look out for UAB in the tournament. They will give whoever they play a major headache.
March 6, 200620 yr QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) Look out for UAB in the tournament. They will give whoever they play a major headache. Their style always gives teams fits in the tourny so I definitely agree with you. Thankfully SIU is no longer a bubble team.
