Wake Forest just wrapped its bid in my mind with a 70-65 win over Clemson. They were already on my “teams close” list so they are not taking a bid away from any bubble team that I will list a little bit later here tonight.
Northern Iowa defeated Wichita State 67-52 to wrap up the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Championship. More than likely, in fact, most likely Wichita State will not get an at-large berth to the tournament so the Bubble teams can rest easy for a night that a bid was not stolen away by the Valley.
Florida and Illinois were not eliminated from Bubble contention today; however, they missed opportunities to gain huge victories over Kentucky and Illinois.
Now the fun part of the night.. I have 20 teams in bubble contention for 10 spots. By the way, what that means is that the bubble sucks this year and there is not a lot of standout teams at the bottom of the at-large lists. If someone loses their spot this year to a surprise conference tournament winner I will not lose sleep over it. My first “field list” will be posted later tonight along with “Games to Watch Tomorrow” as there are still some games going on right now to determine those matchups.
