tuesday night bubble madness
I could not care less what's going on with that school down south. We're one week away from March Madness!!!
- Harvard and Princeton to play Saturday for all the Ivy marbles!
- USF > Villanova.... O_o
- Butler crushing UW-Milwaukee = great news for bubble teams.
- Gratz Little Rock!
- Let's go Providence! Oakland!
Is it Friday yet!?
would get the autobid and Butler an at large, so this would move everyone further from the cut line if it holds up.
"further" you mean in better shape because Wisconsin-Milwaukee is not getting in if they don't get the auto-bid.
Wisc-Milwaukee, Cleveland State, and Butler all tied for the regular season crown at 13-5. Somehow, Wisc-Milwaukee won the tie-breaker, and was the tournament's #1 seed.
Many bracket projections including Lunardi's go with the offend-no-one approach favoring rule (assume the highest seed will the auto-bid) over the use of a little common sense (picking the at-large quality Butler over the projected-15-seed-given-they-win-tonight Wisc-Milwaukee).
The Butler did it, with the basketball, at the US Cellular Arena.
Was probably head-to-head. UMW swept Butler. Some projections would have been based on that and the game being @MW.
Butler played reverse-Robin Hood tongiht. Good for us!
Hangin' in there in spite of playing in Crocs
Marquette losing would be the cherry on top
Marquette wins big. They are in.
