Marquette Bubble Watch March 7 Edition

[Rubie sez: Warrior Brad's traveling today and was having computer issues, so ignore my name on the byline.  This is his baby, so as per usual, all compliments should be directed to him.]

An abbreviated watch today as I will be on assignment for my real job in Florida.  Needless to say, the MU loss was devastating for our tournament chances.  Complicating matters, there are some distinct possibilities for bid stealers.  Root hard for ODU tonight.

Georgia

Bama gets a win they absolutely had to have, but is it too little, too late?

Alabama

ColoSt

G’night Rams.  Finally.

SDSU

Richmond is in really good shape regardless of their performance in the A-10 tournament

ECU

No Minges Coliseum magic here

UAB

GTown

Cincinnati keeps rolling along. Georgetown’s seeding will be quite interesting after their recent slide and the Wright injury

Cincy

69

 

MichSt

63

Another damaging result for MU.  MSU is in much better shape than Michigan, so this strengthened the Wolverines’ case

Michigan

70

 

Nebraska

57

Generally a neutral result for MU.  CU probably still has work to do in the Big XII tournament

Colorado

67

 

Texas

 

A big sigh of relief for MU with this result.  The Bears need a big performance in the Big XII tournament

Baylor

 

 

Tulane

61

A close shave against Tulane at the FedEx Forum?  Memphis should be as good as dead

Memphis

66

 

USC

62

Ick, USC’s sweep of the Washington schools puts them on the bubble

Wash

60

 

USM

70

A damaging loss for USM.  C-USA is looking more like a one bid league

Tulsa

UtahSt

Another Boise St football score in mid-majorville

LTech

UTEP

59

UTEP stays alive, albeit barely

SMU

UVa

Maryland was a bit player at best, but this outcome is final pillow to the face

Virginia Tech completes their regular season bed-wetting.  This is a damaging loss for MU’s tournament hopes as it strengthens Clemson

Clemson

GSU

The Patriots would go on to lose on Sunday – booo!

GMU

Butler

Now it’s time to root against UWM against Butler on Tuesday

Cleveland St

MoSt got the win, but we all know what happened on Sunday…

Good result for MU, especially since GMU would go on to lose on Sunday

BC did what they needed to do.  The are firmly on the bubble, so their ACC tournament performance is crucial

FSU punched their ticket

NCSU

VCU

This is yet another damaging game.  MU fans need to be big ODU fans on Monday night

GMU

Disaster is avoided in the CAA.  Go Monarchs!

ODU

Did someone’s bubble pop with this game?  We’ll find out on Sunday, but  MoSt has a decent profile…

 Gonzaga's win sets up the Annual WCC Championship with St. Mary's.

Big win for MU.  St. Mary’s is pretty much a lock at this point and we don’t need a third team from the WCC.
