I dont know what standard you guys use to measure the bubble. Its like you expect there to be P4 teams who are 24-7 to be there or something. That's not who is on the bubble. It was so strong last year BEFORE the bid stealers because the Mountain West had most of their league in contention. Also, the Big East was in the same boat though they got shafted. There were so many teams with a shot that Wake, a team who would have made it in some years didnt even have a prayer.
Tough 10 game stretch coming up

The fact that most of the Mountain West made the tournament, the fact that a team like Virginia made the tournament, and several other teams as well, shows that the bubble wasn't strong. If it was, those teams would have been no where near it.
And it never is. It's filled, for the most part, with somewhat above average power conference schools. If any of those teams were actually good they wouldn't be on the bubble (barring circumstances like injuries).
0-2 now
Very tough stretch for us. FSU on the road becomes bigger and that's a toss-up game. We'll probably be a 2 point favorite. They are good for some reason. I haven't watched them but the JUCO transfer 6'11 Malique Ewin is supposed to be big time and will probably have 15 rebounds. AndAnd Jamir Watkins is having a good year averaging 18.
Need to go 5-5 on in this stretch to stay in the field. Next 4 are huge. We can win @ FSU, Clem, @ Syr, UNC to go 4-2 and then @ Wake is a guaranteed loss, UVa a guaranteed win and hopefully we can split @ UNC and @ SMU to go 6-4. 6-4, 9-4 overall and we are pretty safe.
Today was a classic post blowout home stinker. This does not mean I wanted us to lose or I'm a troll. I could smell this coming after Tuesday.
I ended up not picking a side but hit the over 149.5. I never take the team we're playing, so would have taken Pitt if I took a side. Peter Rose I am not.
