Not a single bubble team is playing tonight. But let's review last night's bubble action.
Biggest (and only) Loser
Memphis.
- They're pretty much out of the at-large picture now. Their chances fell from 20% to 12% with their home loss to SMU.
Biggest Winner
St. Mary's
- The Gaels won on the road against San Francisco, and that was enough to push their NCAA chances from 23% to 38%.
Other Winners
All of these teams merely treaded water by beating up on bad teams. Their chances all improved very slightly, but didn't change the dynamic for them very much.
Wisconsin-Green Bay
- Their win over UIC brought their chances from 40% to 44%.
Purdue
- Beating a horrible Rutgers team by 7 moved them from 51% to 55%.
Temple
- Houston is 1-14 in the American conference. A far cry from the Phi Slamma Jamma days. Temple's win moved them from 72% to 76%.
BYU
- A win over Portland (the U, not the Trail Blazers) moved them from 44% to 51% with a big showdown with Gonzaga looming.
Not on the Bubble, but Special Note from Last Night
Michigan State
- Sparty saw their chances drop from 96% to 88% after Tom Izzo's brain fart let Minnesota tie the game at the end of regulation and win it in overtime. 88% is still good enough to NOT be on the bubble, but another FUBAR moment like last night, and who knows?
Finally....
... if you think the stripes on this dress are black.... go see a doctor. Today.
