Craig’s March Madness Bubble Watch
There is nothing worse for a College Basketball coach than missing out on March Madness. Several big name programs have found themselves on the bubble of being home come March Madness. With less than 4 games left for much teams they still have opportunities to get themselves in. A late season winning streak could help any of the teams on the bubble prove there worth to the selection committee.

There are 65 open slots in the NCAA tournament, 20 of which are automatic bids given out by conferences. The big six BCS schools have most likely locked up another 26 bids. Six other teams have locked up there bid: Memphis, Gonzaga, Xavier, Utah, Dayton, and Butler. That leaves 13 open spots for at large teams that are currently on the bubble. Thirteen sounds like a ton of openings. But once you consider that some conferences have upsets in the conference tournaments that number gets cut down even more. Which means the number of spots that 25 or so bubble teams are fighting for is really only about 10 openings.
Below are Craig’s Bubble teams broke down by conference.
ACC: Miami, Maryland, and Virginia Tech
Big East: Cincinnati, Notre Dame, and Providence
BIG TEN: Penn State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin
BIG 12: Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Kansas State
PAC 10: USC
SEC: Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina
Mountain West: UNLV and BYU
All other Conferences:UAB, Creighton, Saint Mary’s, and Davidson
Even though the end of season is near for all teams these teams above that are on the bubble can’t afford a let down. The difference in most of these teams is so close this year the selection committee will definitely will be putting added weight on how teams finish there last 10 games. None of these teams can win the National Championship but most of these teams could get hot and be this years cinderella team. Check back next week as Craig will update his bubble watch next Wednesday!!
