Whiffed on the 8pm games

I don't want the first round bye.

[hhctony]

To get a first round bye we'd have to be the four seed, correct? I don't see how we get that high. We are looking at either the five or the six with Minnesota, no?

I think it's sort of a win-win.  There is little chance we would get a 4 seed without winning out and if we win out, there is no way we aren't in the tourney.

Or to put it another way.  There's no way they're gonna shut out the 4th place team from the freakin' B1G from the dance.  I mean, has that EVER happened?

[Mr. Red]

The only reason I miss the Big 12 is not having games on Saturday. Who doesn't love a little Studio 66?

haha yes you just took me down memory lane

They also made me crave Whataburger and Chick-Fil-A

No, probably not. But that's not to say it couldn't happen. It's not really that unlikely that we find ourselves in the #4 spot...unless you look at history. We're basically tied with OSU and one back of Wisconsin with a game to play vs. them in our building. 

 

OSU's schedule is pretty soft, too, so you'd think they've got the inside track to the 4 (not sure how the tiebreaker would work in that case) if we tie with them. Wisconsin is soft in the middle but is book ended with tough roadies at Iowa and us. I think it'll be those three fighting for position down the stretch for the 4-6 spots unless one, which most would suspect as most likely us, collapses.

 

Just win, and it'll take care of itself. I think, though, if NU can't get the bye, the 6 seed would be a pretty good spot to end up.

[hhcmatt]

Not sure if we need a new thread for RPI, but our opponents games matter as well. Cincy is playing UCF on the road.  We want those guys to keep winning.

Meant to add meaningful games. Missed that one, thanks!

[Shuttlesworth]

Rhode Island up 7 late in the 1st Half vs St. Joe's. That would likely knock St. Joe's off the bubble and out of at-large consideration.

[hskr4life]

Cincy up 40 to 15... Haha that's just a beat down

[Tallbaby21]

Doug Bell for life.

[Cookie Belcher]

Cincy is good. We did well playing them as close as we did.

I am almost positive Iowa was snubbed out of a 4 recently...they lost their only game in the conference tourney....

Minnesota laying an egg

Is there a way to keep an archived version of the bubble games somewhere? I wanted to check how the games turned out tonight but they have already been removed.

Here's a good link to see how bubble teams faired throughout the day. I'll pin the link to the OP, and delay when I update the next day. Thanks!
