Here's something I don't quite get, and this is more of a comentary on the silliness of bubble talk, than it is about I4...people keep saying they need a win in the big ten tournament to get a bid. Really? Would a win over northwestern and their 111 RPI, followed by a loss to Maryland really enhance their resume? Now, obviously if they lose their out, and of course they have to fill all 68 lines, so it is all relative, but I fail to see how a win over a team that won't even be in the NIT helps them in any way.

I agree that a win won't help but a loss to said team would not look good and may be enough to bump them.

Wyoming popped a bubble earlier.  UConn may do another tomorrow.
