BengalsAndBucks;1112972; said:Yeah that really hurts. And Zaga is in a dogfight with San Diego, if they lose they will still get an at large.
Jake;1113040; said:We need Butler to beat Cleveland State tomorrow (sorry, Vikings!) and Kent State needs to win the MAC tourney because they have a very good shot at an at-large if they lose.
Oh yeah, and I now believe we must beat Sparty again and get that 20th win, at the very least. I think 19-13 might be too much of a stretch to expect a bid.

OSU needs to win against MSU regardless of what happened tonight.We need Butler to beat Cleveland State tomorrow (sorry, Vikings!) and Kent State needs to win the MAC tourney because they have a very good shot at an at-large if they lose.

VCU losing yesterday didn't help though. The committee might love them some Colonial Conference with the runs that George Mason, and VCU themselves, have made in recent years.
Post agree, I good.BengalsAndBucks;1113081; said:True enough I guess. Davidson was ranked but has a suprisingly weak resume with an RPI of 41 and 0 Top 100 wins, along with a 131 SOS. But best that they lock up the auto-bid. WKU winning actually hurt bubble teams though- with that win, they bettered their resume should they lose in the title game. Now hopefully that doesn't happen, and I can't really see the Sun Belt getting 3 teams. But South Alabama, Gonzaga, St. Mary's, and possibly VCU are all going to be taking spots from bubble teams like Ohio State.
Right now, there is no way we get in at 19-13. We need to win one more and probably get some help from some other bubblers, or just win two.
