Bubble Watch 2018

Agree, so at this point Bama won, L'Ville lost. what other bubble games have taken place that hurt us?

None, St. Johns would have been a bid thief, VCU winning helped RPI, next big game is Kansas OKST.  Go Jayhawks.  Also have Nevada vs Las Vegas, we want Nevada to win that. and Georgia over Missou would help RPI.  That'd be it for the morning session.

Creighton over PC is big.

So why is everyone losing their mind and declaring the NOVA game a " Must win"?

Louisville lose was big.

K State was gettin in regardless.

Bama win hurts, but they've gotta be behind us still.

Going by this they were close to being out

I think they were in regardless. Their seed upside may be limited but I don't get they were getting left out. The big B12 game is Baylor

Was just about to post this, obviously ever game carries different weight, but a minimal RPI boost means a lot more right now than it usually does.  On the day we are currently 3-2 with Clemson up at half and CU up at half

[Newsdreams]

K State was getting in regardless. No way a 10 win B12 team was getting left out.

They have said conference record is less of a factor now

Not really. And that's per 1 source, TRank, which had them as a 10 seed. A loss to a projected 6 seed in OT isn't moving then out. K State won 10 games in the B12, which is top to bottom best league in the country. Super weak non con holds them back quite a bit, but they weren't getting left out reagardless of what happened today. No Q3 or Q4 losses. Just have very little seeding upside due to super weak Non con SOs.

Creighton over PC is big.

Hope it moves them enough to a Q1 was close but not for sure

That does not matter

Creighton needs to win 2 games (PC and X) to get into top 30 per RPI wizard as of this am.

Think they are like 34 right now

Jesus. Of that post this what you focus on? Unreal. Just going to move along. K State was in regardless. Disagree if you so please.

Now they are in for sure,  but a loss is a loss be it OT the committee won't care

[BM1090]

Big bubble games going on right now.

Cheering for:

Creighton
Arizona
Kansas
Nevada.

In my opinion that is ordered from least to most important. Nevada needs to win the MWC Tournament to prevent the first bid thief.

Well yeah, conference record is less of a factor now, agreed.  But all that means is they are looking at those wins and losses at the quality of them.  And them being in the BIG12, those 10 wins are going to carry some weight.

Thanks guys...moment of panic. I'm better now  Let's hope our boys still play like it's a must win though

[MarquetteDano]

Thus far this is been a bad day for us bubble wise.  Other than Ville loss,  not good.

I am starting to think we really need to win tonight.  A few more upsets and we are screwed if we lose tonight.

Don't want to be sweating on Sunday.  Let's make it easy for the committee and do this.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Kansas crapping its pants so far but still very early. 

[mu03eng]

Yes, but we went from appearing in 40 of 96 brackets to appearing in 42 of 80.
So we got that going for us...  which is nice.

And a donut without a hole is just a danish.

[BM1090]

Since I'm ripping on teams being bad, I'll go the other way here. Oklahoma State looks legit and has every time I've watched them.

Louisville lost, Bama won.  Bubble teams are 1-1. K-State was already in, VCU won, which helps, Creighton game is close, could go either way, Kansas needs to get it together but its the first half. If we lose tonight we'll all be sweating on Sunday regardless of what other teams do.

[BM1090]

Nevada is getting beat at half by UNLV. Down 8. That'd be a terrible result.

[wisblue]

Bid stealer alert.

UNLV leads Nevada 39-31 at halftime.
