Thursday, Let's Get This Going

Congrats to American who took the Patriot title last night.  They slide into the 16 seed.

As for bubble action last night every team that was supposed to win did except for Georgetown.  They are no longer considered in the bracket and will have to settle for the NIT.

There are no bids going out today or tomorrow but there will be a lot of bubble action with all of the major conferences kicking off today.  Look for updates throughout the day.

On a side note, BYU is going to be the most talked about team in/out of the bracket for the next couple days.  Most people had them in but with Collingsworth out with a torn ACL will the committee drop them 4-5 spots and exclude them altogether?  There numbers are solid, RPI of 35, NCSOS of 3, but they were only 1-5 against the top 50.  I have them as one of my last 4 teams in but will take a second look at them as other conferences finish.  I could see a team getting hot and taking their bid.  A couple to look out for are Utah, Southern Miss/Louisiana Tech, or California.
