Let's start with the in's and out's today
Out
Notre Dame - a chance for a solid road win turns into a loss against Seton Hall. Back to the out for the non-Fighting Irish'
In
Texas Tech - 4-5 in conference blows but a RPI of 29 is good enough to be the last team in. Gross
Quite Frankly the bubble this year is awful. I had a hard time finding somebody to put in after Notre Dame lost. If you are in below 500 in conference it shouldn't matter what your RPI is. On top of this mess I can find a list of at least 6 teams who are 1 loss away from falling out of the bracket. I'm not talking just the next game either. These teams need to win a minimum of their next two to stay in.
The List
Clemson - fading like they do every year
Marquette - we all know this situation. DePaul? Really?
Texas Tech - see above
Louisville - barely hanging on
Virginia Tech - 6-3 in the ACC, awful SOS
St. Mary's - blown out at home against Gonzaga
Mississippi - lost 3 of last 4. RPI of 39 keeps them in for now
Old Dominion - Mid Majors get no love; need to keep winning
If any of them fall this weekend here who's knocking on the door. It's NOT a very impressive list
Last Four Out RPI
Oklahoma State 37
Florida 56
Charlotte 44
Cincinnati 53
Next Four Out
VCU 57
South Florida 49
Wichita State 50
Arizona State 76
