Bubble Watch 2018

a10 should be a 1 bid league what URI beat creighton wow we beat them twice

[Dr. Blackheart]

Th Rams may have just bumped us to the NIT.

We bumped ourselves.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Congrats to Davidson.  Well-coached team and solid program.  Rhode Island played like a team who is about to lose their coach. 

[Silkk the Shaka]

We bumped ourselves.

True. But that was legitimately terrible basketball.

[mileskishnish72]

Well, if there was a slim chance, Davidson prob. just extinguished it. Crap!

[wadesworld]

If they do indeed miss the tournament at least every MU coach from now on will have concrete evidence that EVERY game matters for their pregame speeches

I've said this for years so hopefully the coaches had this figured out before today.

Good for Davidson. You win your conference tournament, you deserve to be in. Not so sure Rhode Island and St. Bonaventure should be in. Pretty crummy conference.

[BM1090]

So for me it'd be USC, Arizona State, St Marys, Oklahoma State, Marquette, Louisville, Syracuse, Baylor, Notre Dame for the final 2 spots.

9 teams for those last 2 spots.

[awilhelmscream]

I guess Davidson kind of owed us that one.

[Windyplayer]

Marquette's bubble just burst, I'm afraid.

Haha, this requires us to have been the last team in, precisely. This is very very far from a certainty. I'm sure the committee will say who that is, but there are about 14 other teams spitting the same narrative right now.

[fjm]

Interestingly. Look at Twitter. I mean I think we are screwed. But every fan base: Cuse, Louisville, AZ state are all saying the same thing.

Everyone thinks their fan bases bubble just burst.

But yeah I think it's us sadly.

My guess is Ok St and ND because of the Colson injury.

[Silkk the Shaka]

The A10 is absolutely horrible this year and the fact they might get 3 teams in is a travesty

Interesting hypothetical: if 2 of Bonaventure's best players were out for the loss to Davidson, does that mean they're out for the tournament too? And would that affect decision making?

[mileskishnish72]

A little poetic justice for DavidsonI guess.

[4everwarriors]

Tournament worthy teams shouldn't lose to DePaul when the season is on the line.

[Aircraftcarrier]

St.Bonnie should be out.I don't care what there RPI was.Look at the schedule strength

[muguru]

NIT selection show 7:30 ESPNU...tune in

[brewcity77]

Probably 12-15 fanbases think they just got knocked out. Only one did. Here's hoping we were two from the cutline.

[Anti-Dentite]

Not looking too hopeful 

[MUBigDance]

It ain't over till it's over.

[ChuckyChip]

On CBS, Jerry Palm says that we are now first team out...Davidson has bumped us.

[PGsHeroes32]

I don't think we were in anyways

I'm just more pissed we have to watch even more garbage in this tourney. God these mid majors are bad

O well, next year we will be in easy

[muguru]

Probably 12-15 fanbases think they just got knocked out. Only one did. Here's hoping we were two from the cutline.

I'm not even sure MU will get a #1 seed in the NIT now. Those go to the first four teams OUT of the NCAAs. Guess we will see how far out they really were.

[NickelDimer]

I'm not even sure MU will get a #1 seed in the NIT now. Those go to the first four teams OUT of the NCAAs. Guess we will see how far out they really were.

Is that a fact? So whoever the #1 overall NIT seed is was the first team out?

Tournament worthy teams shouldn't lose to DePaul when the season is on the line.
