Yesterday was a bad bubble day for Pitt. Only two bubble teams lost. Today has become a near must-win.
Saturday's Losers
George Washington
Their loss to VCU dropped their chances from 40.9% to 23.4%. Missed opportunity.
Florida
The Gators saw their chances from from 44.8% to 34.0% following their loss at LSU.
Saturday's Winners
Cincinnati
The Bearcats win moved their chances from 87.6% to 90.0%.... making them a near-lock.
Temple
The Owls bumped their chance up to 73.5% from 69.7%. It is looking more likely that the AAC will get four teams.
Butler
The Bulldogs' OT victory gave them a nice boost. From 51.7% all the way up to 66.5%.
VCU
The Rams got a huge boost with their win... from 68.7% to 83.5%. Approaching lock territory.
Syracuse
The Orange got an essential victory. A loss, given all the other bubble action yesterday, would've been crushing.
Gonzaga
The Bulldogs held on for a late victory over BYU. Their chances stand at 59.1%, up from 55.7%. They still need a decent run in the WCC tourney, though.
Vanderbilt
The Commodores likely punched their ticket yesterday with a big home win against Kentucky. Big jump from 61.0% to 79.1%.
Providence
The Friars got a necessary win against lowly Depaul to keep their hopes alive. From 43.0% to 47.8%, slightly ahead of Pitt.
