Easy Like Friday Morning

A strange night in basketball last night as almost all teams projected In the bracket lost. Clemson, Connecticut, Stanford, Xavier, and Boise State all lose but are relatively safe (except for Boise State, more on that later). All of the loses came on the road so it might not even effect their seeding. Winning last night on the plus side of the bubble were UCLA, USC, and Arizona. This should all but sew up a bid for Arizona whose SOS of 1 should lock them in even if they fall to Oregon over the weekend.
Back to Boise State for a moment; their loss leaves them at 12-4 in the WAC with 3 teams at 11-4. Should New Mexico State, Utah State, and Nevada all win this weekend their would be a 4 way tie for first. That should make for an interesting conference tournament.
Lastly, a lot of the conference tournaments have started and we are going to be able to start nailing down the small bids and bubble teams. Make sure you are studying these games so you can predict the 14 seed that's going to win this year.
