Bubble Watch

I don’t know how a fan base could have it any worse

This is the reality.

If nothing goes wrong we avoid Dayton.

If little goes wrong we're 50/50 to Dayton.

If an average number of things goes wrong we're likely in Dayton with a small chance of missing completely.

If lots go wrong we're 50/50 or worse on even making it.

If everything goes wrong then the portal thread is the most important thing come Monday.

Everything went wrong

For those who were/are openly mocking those who have been concerned about this stuff, can’t you see why? The bubble just inexplicably shrank by 4 spots today. Four schools just got booted and we are likely one of them. Just a brutal day for us. Won’t forget this

This is the worst "I told you so" in my entire life.

I assume we’ll accept the nit bid.

NET was 34 this morning. Tomorrow it would be 32 or 36. Not many teams in that range have missed the tournament...

The bubble has never been this strong before, though. That's mostly due to the bid stealers. It will almost certainly happen to someone, this season.

It all comes down to what the committee is thinking.

 

[Boo Harvey]

This is so effing depressing

 

[Jack Williams]

The only good thing is, it’s finally over

No more bid stealing games. I hope I never have to worry about this shit again

Jerry Palm coming on CBS Sports Network to talk about the bubble.

Thanks. Tuning in now.

Going into the day Kenpom had the odds on the Temple/NC State/Oregon trifecta at 120-1. Just a disgusting beat for us and bloodbath for the bubble.

Cruel irony to Dan Gavitt being the committee chair that has to give the BE only 3 bids.

I cannot watch one minute of basketball tomorrow leading up to selection sunday.

 

[RedStormNC]

If we don't get call, don't think I'll be nearly as upset as I would have been if Mullin's team didn't after tanking the back half of what should have been even better.

 

[mattc]

Welp at least our NET went up to 32.

 

[MugCostanza]

Incredibly strong bubble + inordinate amount of bid stealers = of course it's the season SJU was squarely on the bubble.

Despite all this, I remain vehemently opposed to expanding the NCAA Tournament by even one spot in the future

 

[Delaware]

Unbelievable. We've been put to bed. Just unbelievably gut wrenching. Good night all.

Said Oregon win bounced Colorado out.

Desperation for so long often colors objectivity unfortunately. Maybe I missed it, but did not see a ton of mocking. Carried away, yes.

 

[Mullins Revenge]

I think we are safe. Barely, but we are safe.

 

[Redenbacher]

So it’s us or Seton Hall. Can see that one going either way,

Strangest season ever:
Get great coach
Roster blow up
Good start
Miserable middle
Pitino rant
Season over
Great finish
In tournament
Out of tournament
