LBSU wins big....

That's a good team.

 

[Mullins2010]

That's a good team.

Yep...wouldnt be suprised if they made a run

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

so LBSU wins helps us. man we still might have a chance.

 

[VolsFan4Ever-11]

Think I may have to take LBSU for a possible run

 

[GBO18]

So the only game we have to worry about is the A10 championship?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

The big only game tomorrow we need to worry about is Xavier vs St. Bonaventure at 1:00pm.

Xavier MUST WIN!

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Think I may have to take LBSU for a possible run

if Ware plays like that, and they get back Larry Anderson back, they will definitely be a tough out IMO.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Bingo!

a good day today...memphis wins, unc wins, vandy wins, and LBSU wins....

now if Xavier wins tomorrow then that is all we can ask for...

that will atleast give us a chance.

their RPI is 74, so for all those saying our RPI will break records, well so will theirs

our Kenpom is significantly bettter 59 for UT, 82 for Miss St

our BPI is slightly better 63 for UT, 65 for Miss St

No idea

Mississippi State isn't getting in. Mississippi and Tennessee both have better opportunities than the Bulldogs.

Lunardi isn't even one of the better people at projecting the field. He progressively gets worse each season. I always love seeing him get butt-hurt over missing a pick, but instead of acknowledging that he's wrong, he goes on some vendetta against the team that "sneaks" in.

no problem guys, i hope it wasnt all for nothing.

St Louie lost...that isn't good.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

St Louie lost...that isn't good.

its fine.

they lost to xavier, and xavier was getting in either way.

all that means is that xavier needs to win tomorrow. its not different than if st louis was to have won, they would have needed to win tomorrow as well to keep from st bonaventure form stealing a bid.

that game had no effect.

 

[MSUDuo]

According to ESPN, the committee has already decided on its 37 at-large teams.

Curious as to how since Xavier is an at-large team if they lose tomorrow.

Should be interesting

My guess is they have that scenario figured. Well use Marshall as the last team, they probably said ok Marshall is final at large. However, if Xavier losese then they get the at large and Marshall it out.

IF XAVIER WINS...IMO it comes down to this....

The last four in will be out of this group IMO:

USF
MARSHALL
TENNESSEE
NC STATE
SETON HALL
DREXEL


I'm gonna say the last four in are:

USF
MARSHALL
NC STATE
SETON HALL

My homer pick is:

NC STATE
SETON HALL
USF
TENNESSEE

I think it really comes down to Marshall, Tennessee, USF and Drexel for that last spot.

Makes sense. I guess you can know the 37 teams in some capacity with several different scenarios playing out...

FWIW, if this bubble team is left out I'm going to be mad...

20 wins
Top50 RPI
BPI is around other bubble teams
4-6 v top50
6-8 v top100

It's stupid that the names on the jerseys keep a lot of teams in the discussion. If a BCS team had this resume, they'd be a lock and comparable BCS teams are (Purdue)

You can't tell me other bubble teams match it, especially USF, Miss State, Drexel, NW
