Amazing how so many so called great teams are just biting it to bubble teams. It seems every game we need goes the wrong way.
And looking at the the Texas/Ok game it shows how much an up hill battle the bubble is for us. If either team wins its a very good win, but whoever loses it is not a bad loss and no harm no foul.

Id say Ok because they are in and Texas is just out one spot above us. Only reason Texas is even near the dance is because of a 4 game streak. Big10 is a mess. Instead of experts saying it is a league full of parity because of so many mediocre teams, they the parity means all teams are great.
Would also love WV to lose. They have lost 6 out of 7 games. There has to be a point were the committee says enough is enough. Lose this one and 7 out of 8. But in the NET they will still be in the top 25 and a 6 seed.
Man these Big10 locks sure suck. If Spiders get an 11, Id pray we get a Big10 team as a 6 or a PAC12 team.

No ones bubble in a P6 conference seems to be pop but they are pretty much done Id say.
I cant believe the Texas ending. This just might not be our year. Holy crap!!!
And of course the loss wont hurt Oklahoma. They will stay in the dance.
We will likely start hearing that Tennessee is in after beating Kentucky.

If Wisconsin wins the B10 regular season and we win against Duquense Ill be furious if some of these middling B10 teams get in over us. Sure would be nice to have 15 chances to win one or two big games and have the media all over your neuts.
It seems to be the way it is working out. And the PAC12 and the Big12 are no different. Just parity with a bunch of decent teams yet they will all get rewarded for mediocrity. It is going to make for a very boring tournament.
Those POS Sooners. Please lose to TCU. They got in at 7-11 last year in b12. Committee shouldn’t cut them a break 2 years in a row.
We would be a lock right now if it weren't for the NET. The NET is the only thing giving some of these power teams a pulse right now. No way would we be behind all of these mediocre, double digit loss power teams if the NET were not around. Shoot, 5 years ago, we went 19-13 and were in the first 4 out.
I know there is a lot more to picking the teams than the NET, but the NET seems to be giving a lot of teams a lot of "good and great wins" against a bunch of average teams. We can only hope the committee has some sense, and are not behind some of these teams in their minds.
I have officially become a fan of the have to be at least .500 in your conference to get a bid club. I don't care if an unbalanced schedule makes you play the top 3 teams twice. Let's say in the Big Ten you get the top 3 twice and go 1-5. Then, all you need to do is go 9-5 against everyone else, mostly average teams, to get to .500. I'm sick of these below .500 in conference teams being safe this late in the year. Not even on the bubble, but safe!!! it stinks!!!!

Need to go into the A10 tournament with the mindset that it’s win or NIT. Side note the big ten is grossly overrated
Quite the quick reversal but there ya go VT4700. Soon you’ll realize what a disaster the Lunardi scheduling thing was too. I’ll give u just a little more time there but you’ll come around!
I mean Lunardi just moved TX in after that bluebird win. Guess who he moved out? A good non p6 team like Utah St. what an ahole & Hardt got in bed w him.
And, it really isn't a bad thing if an unbalanced schedule has you playing the top teams twice because you get them all at home that way.
Nothing will change my mind about our schedule. It was more than acceptable.
I have not been a fan of Utah St. all year. They beat Fla. and LSU OOC, but have no good wins IC, and have a couple really bad losses. They do not deserve a bid over us. Before you say their schedule was the key, they only played 2 power teams OOC, but went 2-0. We played 3 and went 1-2. Also, they played 2 Div. 3 teams, so are only 21-8 officially. So, advantage them a few months ago, but we have passed them the last 2 months, and our team sheet looks a lot better than theirs.
Grossly, as is the PAC12 and the Big12. Watching these games shows how mediocre they all are. Ugly games.
U think I want to put Utah St in over us? Hell no. I’m just not surprised it was them being replaced. If not them then it would have been us. God forbid it was IU or Cincy.
Yep. Cincinnati is 19-10 with 4 quad 3 losses. I don't understand the love people have for them.

Interesting article, but from 3pm Monday, and things keep moving fast this time of year. Wonder what things will look like 24 hours from now?
Looks like Palm has us and Utah St. in, and Cincy and Rutgers out.
Lunardi has Rutgers and Cincy in, with us and Utah St. out.
Rutgers has 1 road win. Palm has said they have never taken an at large team with less than 3 road wins.

Palm has us playing Texas Tech in the play in, both 12 seeds. He also has Utah St. playing Texas in the other play in, both 11 seeds. The typo with NCC is still up on the right side. Funny. Can't they fix that?
Providence gets a visit from X tonight...
UCLA plays at USC Saturday after both have a bye week.
Stanford still has at Oregon St & at Oregon
Still time for some things to change...
