WV up 1. K State ball. 10 seconds left.

[PGsHeroes32]

Gotcha, they're a terrible half court offense team.

And free throw shooting

Which is the theme of these tournies.

Another big miss

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Oregon beats Cal.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

WV escapes 51-50. Ugly game

[PGsHeroes32]

Oregon and WVU prevail.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Great defense by WVU on the last possession. Survive with a 1 point victory.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Goodbye bid stealers. Only one left in the A-10, we good.

[forgetful]

Well, Cal, KSU and Houston will not be passing us on the seed list.

Uconn on their home court if they get really miraculous

Also would be nice to just make sure Ole miss dies here

[PGsHeroes32]

Ole miss done.

Now just bama can cause trouble in SEC

I've pretty much penciled in UCONN to win the AAC for weeks. They're not good, but it's what UCONN does.

This one would be really crazy because of how bad they are.

Assuming SMU don't choke. It will be really hard to beat both cincy and smu

Not a bubble game...but damn, Arizona is good.  I don't want to play them.

UCLA is no slouch either. The Top 3 teams in PAC 12 are dangerous.

And free throw shooting

FTs no matta.

Bracket Matrix has yet to update but as of this morning, Marquette was the third 10 seed, 8 spots from the bubble. Behind them in order:

Xavier (Dead)
Providence (Dead)
Vanderbilt
Wake Forest (Dead)
Middle Tennessee State
USC (Dead)
Kansas State (Dead)
Rhode Island
Cutoff
Syracuse (Dead)
Illinois State (Dead)
California (Dead)
Iowa (Dead)
TCU (Dead)
Houston (Dead)
Illinois (Dead)
Georgia (Dead)
Clemson (Dead)

All but three teams behind us our dead. All three are in the field at the moment. One of them can't catch us because they only have a game against lowly Marshall. One is unlikely to catch us because instead of building their resume agaisnt Dayton, they will have to slum it with Davidson. The third, we own a 20+ point beatdown against. We no longer have to worry about beating out other at larges. Our only fear should be bid thieves. There are only 4 conferences left that can produce a bid thief. Honestly, I only think we will have 1 bid thief (A10) with a possibility of a 2nd (AAC). I don't think CUSA or the SEC will produce one (knock on wood).

All this to say, I'm feeling pretty safe at the moment. Committee could come out of left field....but we would be one of the bigger snubs in tournament history.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton strength definitely helping our cause. Our wins over them looking much better.  Also it appears as if the wheels have stayed on Xavier Wagon which also helps our cause.

I have studied all the analysis prepared by our  very studious posters on this site and feel pretty comfortable we are going to eke our way in .

All I care about is getting in the field. We have enough offense to play with anyone and the tournament is generally about hot shooting teams.

Wow, TAMU, I've never seen such hubris!

(Sorry, Crash, I couldn't resist.)

Interesting how the last four byes are Big East teams. ESPN bias?
