Normally, this is the day where the bubble starts to end. A couple teams will make a run, but for the most part, 7th and 8th seeds in the conference start losing to 1st and 2nd seed – and we start to watch the field set itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not so far today. The Bubble knows their seasons are on the line, and they are playing like it. Lets look at what has happened so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oklahoma really could not afford another loss – so all they did was beat #3 Baylor 72-67<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TCU at 8-10 in the Big 12 also could use one more big win – they got it with a 65-60 win over #22 Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Texas A&M and Florida played an awesome overtime game, where the Aggies won with a late three-pointer, 83-80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I already ranted about Indiana’s amazing comeback victory over Michigan – but we can’t forget them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Louis started off their Atlantic 10 tournament with a 20 point victory over LaSalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miami FL had to hold off Boston College in overtime, but did manage to get a 2 point victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creighton beat Marquette by 11 points in the Big East – the NET would have said Marquette was the favorite in this game, but Creighton was actually the better seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boise State held on to a 71-69 victory against Nevada to make sure they moved on in the Mountain West. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colorado was the middle team to break away in the Pac 12 – with an 11 point victory over Oregon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wyoming kept their hopes alive in the Mountain West with a 2 point victory over UNLV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Texas started off their Conference USA tourney with a 18 point victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michigan State jumped out big against Maryland, and then held on for a 4 point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virginia Tech rode the momentum from their buzzer-beater victory last night to beat Notre Dame by 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notice that almost any time that a bubble team lost, it was because they were playing another bubble team. Teams that had an opportunity to get a huge win jumped at that opportunity. Teams that needed a win to keep their seasons alive did so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been a pretty good day for the bubble teams – they are playing like their seasons depend on it. Because they do depend on it!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
