@ Nick. Oregon needs to beat Washington State to solidify their spot. They did get swept by UCLA, Stanford and Washington State and lost at Saint Mary’s. Their best non-conference win is @ Kansas State. Also, pay attention(hopefully, you will) to the MAC Tournament. If Kent State loses, then another bubble team gets pushed to the NIT. Let’s not rush to put the Ducks in just yet.

David, I have to question your projection that S. Alabama will win the Sun Belt Conf. They’ve beaten W. Kentucky twice in close games, do you really think that they’ll beat the Hilltoppers again? I just don’t see that happening. Also, you have Temple in over St. Joe’s? I don’t know about that. They’ve both beaten Xavier, and they split the games between them. I think it’s hard to choose between the two, but I think you have to, because they both won’t get in. St. Joe’s has a sweep over UMass, who I have as in no matter what, and a 22 point neutral win over Villanova (I know it was technically a home game but they didn’t play it at the Liacouras Center). I think you have to give it to the Hawks.

Tough loss for VCU. Best wins: Houston, at Maryland, at Bradley, and at Akron. All solid wins but no great wins. SOS of 151. It’s tough to give the Colonial two bids since every team in the conference besides George Mason is terrible. In my opinion, the Rams are probably one of the last teams out. Also, I think UK could get a 7, 8, or 9 seed, what do y’all think.

Provided UConn bests Cincinnati in Stoors tonight, it will set up a huge bubble matchup in the first game of the Big East Tournament: Villanova vs. Syracuse.

Good Luck. I don’t see that happening.

It’s not about Florida losing players. I was merely trying to say that it happens and you play the hand that is dealt to you. It really doesn’t matter because if we win at Rupp tommorrow, we’re in.
