Pitt's Current Situation
RPI: 42
Chances: 75.2%
Tuesday's Loser
Florida
It's hard to decide which high-major team is in the biggest tailspin, Florida or USC. The Gators continue to pile up the losses and I don't think a 17-13/8-9 SEC team can make it. They need a deep run in the SECT next week. Their home loss to Kentucky last night was their last chance at a quality regular season win. Chances fell from 34.1% to 17.6%.
Tuesday's Winners
Vanderbilt
Their home win over Tennessee kept their positive momentum going. Chances bumped from 77.9% to 79.9%.
Akron
The Zips went from 47.6% to 50.2% with their home win over Ohio. The win clinched the #1 seed for the MAC tournament.
George Washington
GW managed to keep their slim hopes alive with a win over George Mason. Up to 24.7% from 23.6%.
Arkansas-Little Rock
The Trojans kept their hopes for an at-large bid in play with their home win over Arkansas St last night. Chances remained static... from 66.0% to 65.9%. Other bubble teams want them to win their conference tourney, as they are the classic bid-stealer if they lose.
San Diego State
The Aztecs got a road victory at New Mexico and saw their chances get a healthy jolt from 52.6% to 72.1%.
St. Mary's
The Gaels treaded water, winning at home against Grand Canyon and keeping their chances at 77%.
Wednesday's Bubble Games
Pitt (RPI: 42 Chances: 75.1%)
at Virginia Tech
7pm, ESPN3
- A win by our Panthers practically punches their ticket. Go Panthers!
Davidson
at VCU (RPI: 47 Chances: 82.6%)
7pm, CBSSN
- The Rams are likely in, but a home loss would push them back into questionable territory. Go Wildcats!
St. Joseph's
at St. Bonaventure (RPI: 35 Chances: 64.5%)
7pm, no TV
- The Bonnies are in with a win over tournament team St. Joseph's. Go Hawks!
Seton Hall
at Butler (RPI: 60 Chances: 66.6%)
8:30, FS1
- The Pirates are in. Butler needs this game badly, a loss would be a killer. Go Pirates!
Arkansas
at Alabama (RPI: 58 Chances: 9.2%)
9pm, SECN
- The Crimson Tide are barely still on the bubble. They need to win and get deep into the SEC Tourney. Go Razorbacks!
Creighton
at Providence (RPI: 46 Chances: 46.4%)
9pm, CBSSN
- Creighton is currently out, but a win could put them back on the bubble. Providence, given their struggles lately, cannot afford a home loss at this stage - it might prove fatal. Go Blue Jays!
Oregon State (RPI: 30 Chances: 62.5%)
at USC (RPI: 45 Chances: 55.1%)
11pm, FS1
- This could be an elimination game, especially for USC. A home loss would mean 6 losses in their past 7 games and would knock them out of the dance. With league leader Oregon on the horizon, this is a must win for the Trojans. Go Beavers!
