    Games of interest 3/10/05

    Atlantic 10 Tourney:
    St. Joe's vs. Richmond - St. Joe's needs to win the A-10 Tourney
    George Washington vs. Fordham - Loss for GW bursts their bubble

    Pac-10 Tourney:
    Standford vs. Washington State - WSU goes for third win over the Cardinal
    UCLA vs. Oregon State - UCLA probably already in, but loss wouldn't hurt

    Big 12 Tourney:
    Iowa State vs. Baylor - does a loss for ISU burst their bubble? Don't know.
    Kansas State vs. Texas A&M - Aggies need to lose

    Conference USA Tourney:
    UAB vs. DePaul - probably an elimination game, DePaul has better resume and will probably get in anyway, I think we want UAB to lose.
    Charlotte vs. Memphis - Charlotte can end Memphis' hope of at-large

    Big 10 Tourney:
    Iowa vs. Purdue - does a win by Iowa help UNI's RPI? Not sure, but Iowa needs more than one win to get an invite. For today, Go Hawks!

    WAC Tourney:
    Hawai'i vs. UTEP - UTEP needs an early exit from this tournament
    Nevada vs. Boise State - Nevada needs to run the table and win this tourney

    Big East Tourney:
    West Virginia vs. Boston College - WVU probably earned a bid, but a BC beatdown would be nice too...Digger thinks if WVU loses that Notre Dame is back on the bubble! Please Digger, take your pink shirt and purple tie and go home!
    UConn vs. Georgetown - Go Huskies!!!

    Mountain West Tourney:
    New Mexico vs. BYU - New Mexico needs a loss and early
    Utah vs. Colorado State - Utah needs to win three in a row

    ACC Tourney:
    Maryland vs. Clemson - GO TIGERS!!! Maryland needs a loss
    NC State vs. Florida State - GO NOLES!!!
    Miami vs. Virginia - PETE GILLEN...we need a Cav "W"!

    SEC Tourney:
    Georgia vs. Mississippi State - Bulldog win puts MSU on bubble
    Auburn vs. Vandy - Vandy needs a loss to burst their bubble
    Arkansas vs. Tennessee - Hogs need a loss
    Ole Miss vs. South Carolina - Ole Miss win would be nice

    Question is

    what hurts us more, a loss by ISU (hurts our RPI) or a win by ISU which might take away a bubble spot? I think we want ISU to win as they are a likely tourney team anyway.

      I see your point...

      but how much does and ISU loss really hurt UNI's RPI? That's the real question. I believe a loss to Baylor opens up a spot in the NCAA's. Much like Notre Dame's loss to Rutgers last night...it's not good to lose to the last place team in the conference just days before Selection Sunday.

        A loss by ISU takes away their Tournament spot. No way they'd get in with 17 wins and an opening round loss to Baylor.

        At this point, the best thing for Northern is having a bubble spot open rather than moving their RPI up one spot or so.

            WV won, so their bubble is getting bigger, however Maryland lost84-72 to clemson in the first round of the ACC, 0-4 last 4 games, i think their bubble popped today!

              WV is now in...but Maryland's bubble popped.

              21 bubble teams going for 11 spots

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                  The hard drive on my work computer went out so I decided to go home and watch BB for the rest of the day. ISU is up 17-0 right now and Iowa is up 33-23 at the half.

                          Interesting note

                          on the Iowa / Purdue game. I think it is Brent Musberger doing the play by play and he keeps talking about Iowa's best player PP being suspended from the team. He keeps making it sound like he's coming back. I thought it was funny.

                              Good RPI points for the Panthers today:
                              Iowa, Iowa St., and Western Michigan all won.

                              WMU beat Akron who is neck and neck with the Panthers in the RPI.

                              Utah, Arizona, and UTEP all won which are good things (UTEP was going to be in regardless, I had them in already...it just means that there is one more team eliminated that could win the "automatic" bid with an upset.

                              Your 2005 "Bubble" Teams:
                              Big 12
                              Texas A&M 19-8
                              Iowa St. 18-10--probably in now

                              Big 10
                              Minnesota 20-9
                              Indiana 15-12
                              Iowa 20-10

                              Big East
                              Notre Dame 17-11--probably done, but still listed

                              ACC
                              Georgia Tech 17-10--probably in, but with Maryland losing, I think they are the 4th (and last) ACC team in

                              PAC-10
                              Stanford 17-11--probably already in, but still listed as bubble in my book
                              Arizona St. 18-12--probably done, but a loss to Washington today would seal their fate

                              SEC
                              Vanderbilt 18-12--probably done, but a loss today would seal their fate

                              C-USA
                              DePaul 19-9--should get in with a win today
                              UAB 20-9--could get in with a win today, but high RPI really hurts them

                              MAC
                              Miami (OH) 18-9--hopefully they win the tourney
                              Buffalo 20-8--could be an at-large bid
                              Kent St. 19-11--most likely need to win tourney

                              Patriot
                              Holy Cross 24-5--we want them to win their tourney to keep the door open for UNI

                              A-10
                              George Wash 18-7--not very good RPI...shouldn't get in w/out winning tourney (but you never know)
                              St. Joseph’s 17-10--we would like them to win tourney, but are probably still in the Dance with a finals appearance

                              Big West
                              Utah St. 22-7--will be hard for them to get into tourney as at-large, but I still have them on the board (hopefully Pacific wins their tourney)
                              The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.
