Conference Tournaments have been kicked off, and some bubble teams are doing their best to punch their way into the tournament, while others have done their best to punch their way out. Here’s what’s going on.
-Villanova: They lost bad to Georgetown, but still have 20 wins, and if you gave them a win in that very controversial game against Georgetown a few weeks back, they’d have 21. They’re on the outside looking in, but depending on how the rest of the tournaments finish up, they may make it.
-Syracuse: Say hello to the NIT for the second consecutive year.
-West Virginia: They were a bubble team, per se, but they were probably more in than out. After beating UCONN today, you can probably stamp them in, barring a miraculous screw up by the selection committee.
Games to watch:
-Pitt vs. Louisville: If Pitt can win this game, they’re in. If Louisville can win the Big East, they’re a two seed. Both have something at stake.
