Tuesday Night and Bubble Watch

Well, Florida couldn't get it done against Kentucky so it looks like they will be replace in the bracket today by Vanderbilt who continued their hot streak.  Georgia Tech lost to Louisville so they drop off the board entirely.  Other than that not much movement last night.

As for tonight we have a full slate of bubble games.

St Joe's at St. Bonnie's
Here's the deal in my mind.  The winner is a lock.  The loser is a bubble team.  If it's the Bonnies they may fall out for the time being.

Pittsburgh at Virginia Tech
The Panthers are probably safe but this is a let down game after the big Duke win

Davidson at VCU
VCU is out of the bracket with a loss.   Davidson is out of consideration.  Seems like a big game.

Seton Hall at Butler
The Pirates can handle a road loss but Butler is my last team out.  A win here and they may jump Gonzaga to get in.

Arkansas at Alabama
Alabama is one of the First Four out.  That explains that.

Oregon State at USC
The Beavers are one of the last 4 in and USC has dropped from a 5 seed to a 9 seed in the past 2 weeks.  Both need this win bad.

For those of you wondering where Marquette is their resume is not even close to an at-large bid.  Their RPI is 108 alone.  Not even close.

Still to come today; previews of conference tournaments starting today (there are 3). Also, depending on time, an article explaining my seeding process.  Here's a hint, it's not the same CBS or ESPN.
