Last Four In: VCU, New Mexico, TCU, Santa Clara
First Four Out: Indiana, San Diego St., Va Tech, USC
Next Four Out:California, Auburn, WVU, Seton Hall
Notes:
- Bubble teams had a bad weekend. With Auburn and California picking up very damaging losses and falling out of my field, while Indiana, SDSU, Va Tech, USC, Seton Hall all missed chances to pick up big wins and move into my field. New Mexico and VCU were the beneficiaries winning this weekend and moving into the field.
- Now we begin my favorites 2 weeks of the sports year with conference tournaments. I will endeavor to update this every day going forward.
-No bubble games tonight. NC State is likely safely in my field but they have lost 4 of 5 and have #1 Duke in Raleigh tonight. A win would obviously be huge, a loss would put the Pack in a position where a win at home against Stanford to close the season would be recommended just to have a stress free ACC tournament, although they would still likely be ok.
