Add East Carolina vs. Southern Miss (1pm) - All Southern Miss needs is one win to punch their ticket to the dance. This would be a bad loss for them and one that could potentially put them on the wrong side of the bubble.

TCA vs. Colorado St (5:30pm) - A loss here would put Colorado State out of the tournament. A win here regardless of their game vs. SDSU would probably keep them on the right side of the bubble.

South Florida vs. Notre Dame - A win over Villanova doesn't solidify South Florida's status in the tournament. If they lose to Notre Dame, they are still on the bubble. Best case here would be for South Florida to get blown out - it could be enough to push them out.

Oregon vs. Colorado (11:30pm) - They would likely need a win over Cal to punch their ticket - something that is very possible. A loss here would nip that in the bud and certainly kill their shot at going to the dance.

Bracketology « Bracketville

This is to the question asking if Tennessee is in better or worse position. Bracketville has been the most accurate since 2006. They have Tennessee as their fourth to last team in.

PLEASE!!!!

I would give ANYTHING for that draw.

11seed draw 6 new mexico in round 1
Draw 3 seed Indiana in round 2
Draw 2 seed Duke in round 3

That isn't a great draw (UNM is VERY underrated and plays some amazing D) but I've seen worse.

I'm lolling more at if we won the first game.

No road is easy, but I like our chances with that draw....

I can't think of many other 6,3,2 seeds I'd rather play.

Also, Duke isn't making the Sweet 16 this year if they're a 2 seed. Quite the overrated team.

Which is why I'd like to be a 11 in the region the duke is a 2

Nevermind that'd be elite 8 game.

I see duke making the sweet 16. What 10/7 team would you bet on to beat them?

Same. I think everyone would like that position. Out of the current 2 seeds, I could see both Duke and Mizzou losing before the S16.

I think everyone's overlooking Saint Louis. Duke drawing them would be rough. Same goes with St. Mary's, I think they could pull of an upset of a 2 seed again. They have that feel they had in 2010 of a quietly dangerous team.

UNM is very underrated. Indiana is a legit 3 seed, but I agree, duke is no 2. I feel like Indiana would have a pretty easy time (aside from us of course :) ) getting to the elite 8 in that bracket.

It all depends on seeding/matchups. For instance, I can't see a way IU beats a 1 seed of any kind but if they draw a 3 it wouldn't be farfetched for them to make the E8.

Noted. I'm just looking for something to talk about because I'm bored out of my mind in this Political Science class.

Two best games of the day should be Northwestern/Minnesota and Texas/Iowa St

They're basically a coin flip.

College Basketball Bubble Watch - Wednesday was OK, but Thursday is when the bubble action really heats up - NCAA Men's Basketball - ESPN

"Tennessee [18-13 (10-6), RPI: 75, SOS: 39] It is now time to take the Vols' at-large chances seriously. Quite frankly, though the NCAA eliminated the official "last X games" criteria two years ago, it won't be able to look at UT's 8-1 record in its last nine games -- with the only loss coming at Alabama -- and not be impressed. Clearly, this is a different group with mid-season enrollee Jarnell Stokes in the mix, one that owns a season sweep of the long-since-locked Florida Gators. The RPI has crept down into reasonable territory (it's still high, but not as high as it used to be), and while a 3-10 road/neutral record is prohibitive, four top-50 wins is more than many bubble teams can boast. It will be interesting to see how the committee handles this team, which has in the course of two months morphed from an obvious rebuilding effort to the No. 2 seed in the SEC tournament. At least one win in New Orleans is likely a must (especially because it will come against the winner of Ole Miss-Auburn), and a strong showing in the semifinals might help too. A lot could happen around the bubble line this week of course, but it looks like two wins would be enough. Who woulda thunk it?"

Now, I'm obviously not speaking from an unbiased perspective, but I feel like many people who don't follow Missouri closely think they'll be an easy out because of their four-guard lineup. I'm not saying they won't be vulnerable in some ways because of this, but I do feel like they're being underrated by some. If their guards are working together and shooting well (which is the vast majority of the time), their makeup is going to give a lot of teams fits. Shoot, they were housing Kansas by 20 points in Lawrence before two key players got into foul trouble - they're legit.

Although Kansas State (of all teams) seems to have their number this year, Mizzou is a very dangerous team that would almost certainly get a 1 seed with a B12 tournament victory.
