MTSU losing by 5 with 5 to go. Could mean a bid thief.

[PGsHeroes32]

Not good. MTSU.

UCLA gets win

Texas coming back. Need them to lose.

Hopefully UCLA stays dead

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Nova is so good. It's crazy.

MTSU is 4-6 vs the top 100 no chance they get in 1-3 vs top 50

We can stop watching bubble teams the rest of the weekend, MU is NOT getting in..and even if they do, it will be in Dayton..oh goodie.

Did you just get appointed to the committee? If not your opinion means nothing

Providence converts 4 FTs in a row. Up 4 in OT now. But. FTs no matta. Lolz

Uhh...you realize Creighton hit a higher percentage of FTs today, right? Because this post literally could not be any more stupid.

Would have preferred not to test this theory. But MTSU lost. Better now than in the final after racking up 2 more wins though

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Only post I am going to make in here tonight.

Not all is lost. We still have a chance. 50/50 proposition.

Beating Nova was always a prayer. That's the best team in the country.

We'll see what Sunday brings. Dayton wouldn't surprise me.

[Its DJOver]

Texas loses to a team far worse than nova. Nd loses to a team that's a best equal to nova. Texas may still get in ahead of us, but no way nd does.

Flip a coin, that's where we're at

[PGsHeroes32]

I just don't see how we make it unless the committee is way different then what most everyone thinks

Will love to be wrong tho. Not impossible

[fjm]

Ha.  Don't get it? Many on here we're talking today about how we are likely in and we want certain teams to lose to solidify us in.

80% of those teams lose so far today and now because we lose to a number 1 seed  (which was expected) a bunch of people are writing us off. Interesting.

Jon Rothstein says on Twitter that MTSU is likely headed to the NIT

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Last Four Byes
Providence (PAST US)
Saint Mary's (PAST US)
UCLA (PAST US)
Oklahoma (PAST US)

Last Four In
Marquette (DONE)
Baylor (WVU then TTU/TU)
Louisville (DONE)
Oklahoma State (DONE)

First Four Out
Arizona State (DONE)
Syracuse (DONE)
USC (ORST then UTAH/ORE)
Notre Dame (DONE)

Next Four Out
Alabama (TAMU then AUB)
LSU (DONE)
Penn State (DONE)
Nebraska (DONE)

Updating this from this morning. The teams ahead of us took care of business so they are permanently past us.

2/3 of teams in but behind us lost so they should be buffers for us now. Baylor losing to West Virginia would be huge. Give us a three team buffer.

Two of the teams out but chasing us lost (ND and LSU). USC is up early on Oregon State and Bama already beat TAMU. Even if both win, Louisville and Oklahoma State should be pushed out first.

Puts us right on the edge, no room for error. I also don't know where MTSU will fall in this category. I don't think they are at large worthy.

This is all based on one bracket of course, not the actual committee. We could already be safe or already out in their eyes, we don't know.

The news here is he tweeted something other than his 20 "catchphrases."

He's right. Their Q1 wins are marginal and they have some bad losses. No way I can see them ahead of us.

I would be surprised but not shocked to see a Dayton trip. I am afraid Alabama coming back does mean they are ahead of us. Wish they could count the Georgia win as a road win since it basically was.

As brew points out, our resume this year would have gotten us in any of the 10 years. The thing that worries me is the fact that they still had Oklahoma in the top 16 after a bit of a slide - and does that mean the committee shifted to put so much emphasis on a win or two against a very high level team might mean they shifted away from our resume.

I don't think anyone expected our seed to be nearly as high as it was last year, so let's hope the same is true this year and we get in.

If not, out very young team could learn from the nit.

The Baylor v WV is currently the biggest game of the year. Let's goooo Mountaineers

Thanks.

Maybe someone should start a Bubble Watch 2019 thread now. Never too early to get the hype started.

[wisblue]

I think they're in.  I don't think it would be ahead of MU regardless of tonight.  I could see Dayton....and if that's the case, hope to avoid them.

Maybe when I say "out" I should say "below Marquette" instead because that's how I'm looking at these other teams now.  If MU is out, then I think Okie State should be too.

[BM1090]

WVU somehow up 6 after playing some of the worst offensive basketball that i have ever seen.
