Tuesday's Winner and Losers

St. Joseph's:
St. Joe's loses at home to LaSalle to fall out of the bracket. They are still in second place in the Atlantic 10 but that conference is losing steam as the year progresses and at this point is probably only going to get 3 bids. With 3 weeks left St. Joe's can play themselves back into the bracket.

Syracuse:
Well, at least they're still in the bracket, if only by a spot or two. This team, I guarantee, plays itself out of the NCAA and into the NIT for the second straight year. Syracuse is another team that looks like the 2007 Duke squad...young, only 7 deep, and tired at the send of all their games. Currently 7-7 in the Big East and 17-10 overall I predict a 8-10 conference records and a early exit in the Big East tournament

Houston:
Thanks to St. Joe's loss, Houston slides into the bracket. I don't know a ton about this team but they are coached by ex-Texas coach, Tom Penders and like to get the ball up and down the court. A potential 12 seeded upset if they can hang in the bracket.
