Right now my bubble is 22 teams playing 10 spots.  I like to widen the bubble late; we'll spend the next 48 hours paring these teams down, on both ends.  If your team is above this; you're in the lockbox and I see no rational argument to keep you out.  If your team is below this; you suck and have no rational path to an at-large bid.

Bubble in:
VCU
UCF

Next 4 in:
Florida
Arizona St
Iowa
St John's

Last 4 in:
Ohio St
TCU
Belmont
Temple

Last 4 out:
Furman
Indiana
UNC Greensboro
North Carolina St

Next 4 out:
Texas
Alabama
Oregon
Lipscomb

Bubble inception:
Clemson
Xavier
Georgetown
Creighton

SEC refs are the worst in basketball. Tech foul on the Asst coach ? Gives Tennessee 2 pts. A phantom 5th foul call on Travis to foul him out of the game in the final minutes giving Tennessee a free point and at the very end Travis not in the game to get that final rebound leading to the game winning 3 pointer.

SEC refs are the worst.

Pac 12 is pathetic basketball. I can't believe they are going to get 3 teams in ? I can't believe someone like Belmont or UNCG might get left out because Washington is so damn terrible.

I pray they leave Arizona State and their 21 point losing team to Washington State at home out. Please if there is any justice in this world Arizona State is the first team out because of this Oregon win.
