So far the field for this years tournament is VERY WEAK. Believe it or not but a 10-8 Iowa team could sneak in with 1 win in the BTT and a close loss to OSU or MSU. Look at these bubble teams...

45 Minnesota: won 3 straight, 2-3 vs. RPI Top 50
58 Oregon: Moved to IN from BUBBLE
16 Southern Miss: Solid IN 3-2 vs. RPI Top 50
62 Purdue: 3-3 vs. RPI Top 50

BUBBLE
28 Memphis: 1-5 vs. RPI Top 50
54 BYU: Moved from IN to BUBBLE. Loss at home to Loyola-Marymount
51 NC State:
57 UCF:
92 Cincinnati: Moved from IN to BUBBLE. RPI is terrible, 2 straight loses.

OUT
21 Colorado St.: 0-3 vs. RPI Top 50
32 Alabama: 1-6 vs. RPI Top 50
34 Ole Miss: 1-4 vs. RPI Top 50
36 Northwestern: 2-5 in conference
45 Marshall: Moved from BUBBLE to OUT. 0-3 vs. RPI Top 50
55 Iowa State: Moved them to out. 0-4 vs. RPI Top 50

How is a win over 10-10 Oklahoma State at the buzzer at home a quality win?! If that's the case, then their win over Iowa is their best win of the season.

Where did i say that was a quality win? I was listing every teams last 3 games.

Also, as you can see i moved ISU to OUT until they actually beat a good team.
 


FSU's resume seems like ours only better in ways. (They have more wins and better wins but they've lost to bad teams like us.)

If we end the season on a run both Iowa and Florida state could be interesting to judge because it would indicate how highly the committee ranks bad losses.

Good move moving them out. They aren't an NCAA tourny team at this point but they do have a big week ahead. Home games against KU and KSU (both ranked) is a big opportunity. When those 2 and they will be in and possibly top 3 in conference

ISU NEEDS at least 1 win over Mizzou, Baylor or KU. KSU would be nice, but unless they go 10-6, they are not getting in without winning at least 1 game vs. the top 3.
 


I'd say were' more likely Bubble between the NIT and one of those other things they run after the season now.
And that's NOT a complaint, it's a vast improvement over the last few years.
Next year Bubble NCAA,
2 yrs from now Sweet 16.
 


Uh, you guys ever watch the end of a basketball season before? Way, way too early to be talking about who's in, out or on the bubble. We haven't even made it to the Bracket Buster games yet. Everything, and I mean literally everything, is pure hypothetical right now. Injuries down the stretch to some impact players can determine the season for a whole conference, let alone one team. Just have to wait and see, even as bad as some of you want to be Nostradamus.:D
 


ISU 0-4 vs. top 50 RPI is a little misleading, because 2 of those losses are to top 10 RPI teams, one top 25 RPI, and then UNI down in the 40's.
 


if Iowa goes 3 ot 4 in their next games then start thinking about being talked about as a bubble team. as 3 out of the next 4 are home games.
anything less than this and the bubble talk is meaningless
 




I think the bubble this year may be worse than it has ever been.

Name the team: Overall 15-6, (conf. 6-3)
Vs. RPI top 50: 0-4
Vs. RPI Top 100: 3-9
 




correct! memory only no cheating.
Next up:
14-6 overall, 9-0 conf
Vs Rpi Top 50: 1-5
Vs Too Top 100: 2-5
