They're clearly #7 in the Big East pecking order having been swept by Villanova. It might come down to beat Creighton in the Garden or NIT.

probably will be the case. And that's if they survive Georgetown- you know Cooley would love nothing more to end the PC season there.

Georgetown beating Providence? The only Big East team they've beaten this year is DePaul.

They may still have needed the autobid even with a win at Tulsa. USF's NET non-conference SOS is 320. Still, bad timing to lose a Q3 game.

Will be interesting tomorrow to see where Indiana St is on the bubble tomorrow.

Lunardi has Indiana State as a Last Four In bid thief

I don't know why they are not a locked in the tournament since Net is stupid. They have been on top of the AAC standings ahead of FAU for a while now. They both are more equals. I do think they would get in no matter what.

I don't care what conference they're in, leaving a 28 win team out of the dance would be criminal.

Especially the #9 conference where the team’s only 2 OOC losses were on the road at Alabama and Michigan St.

26 NET, 34 SOR, 37 Torvik, 39 BPI, 39 KPI, 41 KenPom.

Indiana State is in. They’re above the cutline in every key metric.

But seriously, why is Michigan State projected to make the Tournament?

Yeah, I’m really getting tired of having this Michigan State team jammed down our throats. If you needed a reason to hate NET, it’s this Michigan State team.

Take Michigan State's spot away and give it to USF or James Madison, especially since the latter beat them. That'd make for a much more intriguing Tournament.

well if JMU loses now tomorrow with App St going down- that's not happening.

This may not be the bubble we mostly talk about, but NCAAW has more juice than the men’s tourney for me (obviously my school ain’t in it). Reminiscent of the 90’s style, bad blood of the NBA. Looking forward to some salty matchups.

Especially for a soon to be 15 loss Villanova team

Yep, JMU specifically needed a loss to App St. With App St falling, JMU now has to get the autobid.

USF 16-2 in conference play, 23-6 overall. AAC should have 5 going into the tournament, not 2. Big East have 4. Big East suck this year. and have had more loses than wins. St Johns and Providence should be out.

Big 10 getting 6 in when only 4 teams have 20 wins.

DavidSt,

Would you mind listing your bracketology and bubble teams of who’s in and who’s out?

Thanks.

Lunardi with tonight’s update. Indiana State is 4th Last Team In. Drake up to the 10-line after their 4th Q1 win to move to 4-2 Q1.

The American was underrated this year but 5 is ridiculous, no offense.

Because they played the an awful OOC schedule and lost a couple some really bad games.

This conference is not underrated. It's dogshit this year. We should be a one bid league. And I am a Memphis fan.
