Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

I agree, some of these "smaller conference" upsets could help UNI's seed, but it would also push Creighton out more than likely. But I'm selfish and all for anything that help the Panthers!



Kentucky lost, they are down to the NIT.

It's early, but South Carolina is up 8 on Mississippi State, I think SC winning will probably push them in.

I think and Auburn win gets them in, certainly not a garuntee or anything, but they've played well lately, and the committee usually seems to really look at that.

Mississippi State came back to beat South Carolina. That has to knock SC out of at large consideration in my mind. Miss St. will still have to win the SEC tournament to get in. The SEC might only get in a couple teams this year.

I know they say they don't look at the number of teams that make it for any conference but I find it hard to believe only two teams would ever make it from a power conference. It makes me believe the winner of Florida/Aurburn will be in now.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

Auburn beat Florida, I have to believe they are now in.

Temple beat Xaiver, which means if they win the A-10 they could get a bid. Dayton also loss to Duquense, which means the A-10 are probably stealing a bid.

Maryland beat Wake Forest, if they win tomorrow they are probably one of the last teams in. This win hurt CU.

Baylor beat Texas, they need to lose for CU.

San Diego State beat BYU, that probably put them in the tourny.



Overall, I'd say the bubble teams did pretty good in the afternoon/night. Hopefully tomorrow brings a lot more losses.

Bubble Watch - March 14th

Memphis vs. Tulsa. C-USA Championship game, CU neeeds Memphis to win this so Tulsa doesn't steal a bid. Memphis is up 6 early.

LSU vs. Mississippi State. LSU needs to knock MS out of stealing a bid.

Auburn vs. Tennessee. This is a huge game for Auburn, if they win I think they are in, with a lose I think they are out.

Duke vs. Maryland. Maryland will probably be in with a win over Duke. So hopefully Duke can beat them big. I can't stand Gary Williams.

Arizona State vs. USC. USC is probably one of the last few teams out right now, which means they need to lose soon.

Missouri vs. Baylor. Big 12 Championship game, If Baylor wins they will steal a bid which is bad news for Creighton.

Temple vs. Duquense. A-10 Championship game, so the winner here will steal a bid.

Utah vs. San Diego State. Both teams are probably in right now. But a bad loss for SDS could knock them out.

Utah State vs Nevada. WAC Championship game. CU needs Utah State to beat Nevada so they don't steal a bid too.


There will be a lot of scoreboard watching for Creighton today!

Memphis is doing their job for the bubble boys today.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

HEATED discussion on Gameday right now between Lunardi and Digger "I hate mid-majors" Phelps. Lunardi doing his best to explain why he has Creighton in his brecket and Arizona out.

Digger says, "Who would win a game today between Creighton and Arizona?"

Lunardi, "I have no idea!"

Phelps, "You haven't watched enough basketball then, Arizona would win going away!"

Lunardi, "You don't know either Digger, you just think you know that would happen."

I LOVE IT.

The better exchange was on the same subject. Lunardi was explaining Creighton being in, and Phelps was going on and on about Arizona being better, to which Lunardi finally asked "then why haven't they beaten anybody in the last three weeks?" Phelps could only scoff and wave his highlighter. Literally...no answer.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

Digger later said that Auburn was clearly better than CU. Yes, that is the same Auburn team that we beat earlier in the year when we were even playing like crap.

This is so cool.

Sitting here with a bid already wrapped up, speculating on other teams that are on pins & needles!

While we're at it, let's make this a regular occurence. Winning a game or two would also be in order. I'd like to see the program progress to another level, but that's an easy thing for me say...it's harder to do.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

Don't know if anybody else is watching the SEC Championship game, but the officiating on both sides has been beyond atrocious.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

What a crazy game. 3 turnovers on 3 different inbounds plays in less than a second. MSU leads by 1 with 9 seconds to go.

Yeah...did you see that 5 second call? They showed him count 4 with his arms and before he got to 5 whistled a 5 second call. These guys have made a ton of horrible calls....especially when its crunch time. The scorekeepers/clock operator are asleep as well.

Re: Bubble Watch - Conference Tournaments

A comedy of errors by all 3 parties involved in this game!
