Today the conference tournament action really ramps up. A number of bubble teams will be in play, as
well as teams looking to improve seeding for the NCAA Tournament. Today’s
slate:
Conference Tournament
Finals (Auto-bids)
Patriot League- Colgate vs Bucknell 7:30pm
Bubble Watch
Louisville vs
Florida State 12pm - Much needed game for Louisville at this
point.
Arizona St. vs
Colorado 3pm
Oklahoma vs Oklahoma St. 7pm -
Battle of bubble squads, although some still have Oklahoma safely in, I
think they need this win.
Notre Dame vs
Virginia Tech 7pm - How many more do the Irish need to win? I say two.
Oregon St. vs Washington
9pm
Iowa St. vs Texas
9pm
Syracuse vs North
Carolina 9pm - Syracuse looking to cement bid with this win,
otherwise sweat until Selection Sunday.

Unfortunately, ND will get the benefit of the doubt with Colson back, I say beat Lville and they are safe. Some (Lunardi) say Cuse needs to get to Semi's. I say beat UNC and in. Oklahoma should not be in without 1, maybe two more wins. Trae Young isn't a reason for an "auto" bid. Their mid season slide should count for something.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with ND. I think they need two more wins for a standard bubble resume, especially after barely beating Pitt. But you are right, with Colson back, it is like they are being evaluated as a whole new team. The committee will want ND in, and you could say the same about Trae Young in Oklahoma. I would say Cuse still has a shot with a loss tonight, but it is under 50%.
