The Bubble Continues

Providence lost last night after moving into the bracket. I’m going back and forth between them and Oklahoma State as the 68th team.

Tonight’s action had a lot of bubble teams playing. All 4 of my 10 seeds, Colorado, California, Minnesota, and SMU are playing. All 4 can survive a loss but all play at home and should be able to hold serve. Colorado has the toughest game with ASU coming to town. I predict a big letdown after beating Arizona Friday night.

Two of my 11 seeds play as well, St. Joseph’s and Missouri. The Hawks travel to Rhode Island for a tricky game against the Rams. They could fall out with a loss. Missouri hosts Vanderbilt and is in the same situation with a loss.

On the outside looking in are Dayton (First Four Out), Oregon (Next Four Out), LSU (Also Considered), and Marquette (Also Considered). Dayton could leap over Providence or Oklahoma State with a win while Marquette needs a win to stay in the conversation. Oregon and LSU are somewhere in between. Time to put up or shut up for those two.
