Updated Bubble Watch

Going off of Lunardi and Palm's brackets today (3/14), here are how the perceived bubble teams are doing in conference tournament play. Teams that have already lost can't improve their resume before Sunday:

Providence - Beat Seton Hall. Plays Creighton
St Josephs - Beat Dayton on Friday in what basically was a "Winner dances/loser NIT's" game between the two. Beat St Bonaventure on Saturday. Plays VCU on Sunday.

NC State - Beat Syracuse. Lost to Duke
Tennessee - Beat South Carolina, lost to Florida.
Xavier - Lost to Creighton
Minnesota - Lost to Wisconsin
Southern Miss - Lost to LA Tech
Dayton - Lost to St Josephs
Nebraska - Lost to Ohio State
Missouri - Lost to Florida
St Johns - Already lost
SMU - Already lost
Arkansas - Already lost
BYU - Already lost
Cal - Already lost
Florida State - Lost to Virginia
Green Bay - Already lost

Keep in mind that according to both Lunardi and Palm, Iowa is ahead of most of these teams listed above as far as the bubble, and going off of their brackets, around 6-8 of the teams listed above will get into the tournament as an at-large. The bubble is not very strong this year and it should be mostly clarified after Friday.

As bad as their loss was against Northwestern, Iowa actually had a really good day Friday as far as their status in the tournament. Iowa is basically a lock at this point, whether they deserve to be or not

Who cares? So what if this team limps into the tourney this year...they did it by default (and a weak *** pre BIG schedule). This team isn't good and they don't deserve a tourney spot. I hope the selection folks have some mercy on hawkeye nation and spare us another embarrassing performance by matching us up against a mid major team that will steam roll our no effort having group of flunkies.

Yikes.

Anyhoo...With everything that happened today Minnesota can almost punch their ticket with a win over Wisconsin.
 
If one more person mentions the bubble, I’m going to freaking lose it. People, you’re losing any bball credibility you have by doing so.

What a bunch of babies. Can't take the truth. I forgot, everyone that doesn't have their head buried in the sand or wearing the black and gold tinted eyewear is a troll right. I'll try not to hurt your feelings next time. Iowa Final Four, Big Ten Champs, We're back, Fran COY, Marble POY...woo hoo!!! Did that make you feel better now?

Guess my intentions as a college basketball fan was more to make tonight and the weekend more interesting to watch for Hawkeye fans since Iowa won't be playing again until next week. There's a lot on the line for a lot of these programs that makes for exciting basketball.

For the record I never for once thought Iowa wasn't going to make the NCAA tournament. I thought maybe this post could help emphasize that point to the non-believers.

I gotcha. Just too depressing for me to root against teams like Dayton and Cal at this point.

Like I said. Just chill a little. Didn't call you a troll. You didn't hurt my feelings. You are just a little too angry and overreacting. I haven't seen one person post in the last week that thinks all is well with the team, so just relax. Good grief.
