Monday Bubble Viewing Guide - 3/7

[UPitt '89]

The bubble teams from the AAC all did well yesterday. This dropped Pitt's chances slightly down to 33.0%.

Sunday's Winners

Cincinnati

The Bearcats got a home win against SMU. A nice quality win that pushed their chances up to 92.4% and made them a virtual lock.

UConn

The Huskies blew out lowly UCF and raised their chances to 60.7%. They probably need one more win to be safe.

Temple

The Owls won easily on the road against Tulane and saw their chances climb to 87.2%.

Sunday's Losers

None.


Monday's Bubble Action

Green Bay
vs Valparaiso (RPI: 39 Chances: 87.8%)
7pm, ESPN2
- At this point it is better for the bubble teams (like Pitt) if teams like Valparaiso win their conference tournaments. Go Valpo!

Iona
vs Monmouth (RPI: 47 Chances: 62.0%)
7pm, ESPN
- Same story as Valparaiso. We want Monmouth to win now. Go Hawks!

Pepperdine
vs St. Mary's (RPI: 35 Chances: 82.6%)
9pm, ESPN
- Same story again. Go Gaels!

BYU
vs Gonzaga (RPI: 66 Chances: 57.1%)
11:30, ESPN2
- In this one, we want Gonzaga to lose for two reasons. They're right there with Pitt on the bubble and also to clear the way for St. Mary's to win the WCC easier. Go BYU!

At this point I am hoping that the AAC final is Temple vs Cincy. That would mean Cincy beat UConn in the first round probably eliminating them and Tulsa would lose early as well maybe eliminating them as well. Need to keep this a 2 bid league or you know just take care of Syracuse on Wednesday.
