They can’t leave us out. Sacrifice FAU and UVA…right? We know UNC & Colorado are done.
Virginia has no business being in over us (or a lot of other teams).
The First four seems unavoidable at this point, though.
I no longer expect Colorado to win after today's games.
They can. They will. And they may have no choice.
At this point I’d gladly take a play in game.

Is this the strongest bubble in history?
14 minutes left and Oregon is in the bonus

N C State is gonna win and Oregon is up 5. Any more good news?
Houston based on their score (41 points) played worst and they were in contention for the overall No. 1 seed.

Dan Hurley says it would be "disrespectful" if Big East gets less than five teams in the tournament. Believes it should be six.
We agree Danny. We agree!

Don’t you mean Danny baby!

Yeah 3 would be crazy but I can’t see how else it would be.

Now that NC State is gonna win, if Oregon wins we'd need an absolute miracle to get in. There basically is no bubble at all. To get in we'd need to be considered ahead of a team that had been considered a lock. The best hope would be Texas A&M but they probably played themself in this week. Other possibilities would be Michigan State, Oklahoma, or FAU. I just don't see it being realistic.
If Colorado wins that means it's pretty much down to a 1 spot bubble. SJU, Virginia, Seton Hall, Providence, and Indiana State all in play for one spot. While we think we deserve that one spot, so does every other of those fanbases. No guessing what the committee will do.

FAU is the one school that really sticks out in that group.
Here is my thought process:
1. If things went well the BE might have gotten 6 bids and SJU would have been in.
2. If things went OK the BE would have gotten 5 bids and SJU would have been in.
3. Since things are an absolute shit show on the bubble, the BE will get 4 bids.
4. The only remaining question is as between SJU, PC and SHU, whose resume the committee prefers. Most seem to think that is SJU on the metrics. We won't know for sure until tomorrow, but I think SJU is in as the 4th BE team.
5. That they are the 4th BE team does not necessarily mean they will be in a play-in, although they may well be. So be it, we will win and then move on.
BTW the NC State win eliminates Virginia and maybe even Clemson, the question there is if the ACC gets 3 or 4.
