They allow tackles now I guess...Memphis tackles the guy forces turnover and now has possession

That gust of air coming through your windows is the collective sigh of relief coming from the bubble teams all over the globe

Not all that impressed with Memphis. They won alot of big non conference games vs power conference schools but that was then

Florida 104-82 over Alabama. They will be the last 1 no matter what happens vs Tennessee

His shoe is being a terrible shooter. 35% from FG this year, 30% from 3. He has a nice shooting game once a month or so. That was his first game shooting over 40% from the floor since January 11.
I have never defended his shooting.
One of most unusual players I’ve ever observed as he does everything else well besides shooting.
He could have helped us. JWill and JMike regressed and their foul shooting was abysmal. How could we have two back up guards who shot under 70% from the line? Simpson passed the ball well and rebounded well. Foul shooting last year was among best in league which makes him more maddening.
Pike made a mistake. Think it’s fairly clear although many fans who drove him out of town don’t want to admit it, but should have kept him.

check Simpson's stats today.

I'd say Rutgers could have used him this year, but just about anyone might have been better then what Rutgers bench turned out to be.
Simpson's D would have helped, his O fit in with how the bench's O looked like

Colorado State hot team up 32-22 in Mountain West final at half. Need to win this.

Boise more uncertain what happens with loss here

All eyes turn to the Big West and what should be a real woozy between the Tritons and the Anteaters

Morning Update

2 bids up for grabs...5 schools

INDIANA
XAVIER
BOISE STATE
NORTH CAROLINA
TEXAS


One bid stealer left in the AAC....UAB

VCU will be thrown into the at large bubble mix list if George Mason wins the A10 tourney.


IMPACT GAMES


IVY


Cornell/Yale meet in the Ivy tourney final.


ATLANTIC 10

George Mason/VCU meet in the A10 tourney final. VCU will get thrown into the at large bubble pool if they do not beat George Mason. I think though VCU has less than 50/50 odds of being selected as an at large. George Mason has no legitimate at large hopes and must win the Atlantic 10 tourney.


SEC

Tennessee/Florida meet in SEC tourney final. Its very late in the game. IMO I think Florida has wrapped up this one seed regardless of the outcome but still will consider a Tennessee win and possible contigency bracket


AAC

UAB/Memphis meet in the AAC tourney final. Memphis is locked into the field already as a possible 7/8 seed regardless of the outcome. UAB represents the sole potential bid stealer left on Selection Sunday and would remove an at large spot currently available. The committee will have a contigency bracket at the ready as the American final will not end until sometime around 5PM.


BIG 10

Michigan/Wisconsin meet in the Big 10 tourney final. Michigan is straddling 4/5 and Wisconsin 3/4. Game will end at 5:30 or so, a contingency bracket could be waiting but its likely the committee has already settled on their seeding. Do not think the result will significantly matter for either school.

While I believe Vanderbilt, Baylor, San Diego State, Utah State, and West Virginia are IN the field and none true bubble schools, it would not shock me if one of them was left out of the field. Committee always good for a curveball.
