However, it's still interesting to see how the conference tournaments are going, so here's a quick rundown of where they stand: Tournament Championship EARNED AUTOMATIC BID (12) - 20 Conference Tournaments Remain To Be Completed Should Earn At-Large Bid (33) On the Bubble (27) POWER 6 ACC: Saturday (Virginia, Duke, Clemson, North Carolina, NC State, Miami, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame) Big 12: Saturday (Kansas, West Virginia, Texas Tech, TCU, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas) Big East: Saturday (Xavier, Villanova, Creighton, Seton Hall, Butler, Providence, Marquette) Big Ten: MICHIGAN (Michigan State, Purdue, Ohio State, Nebraska, Penn State) Pac-12: Saturday (Arizona, USC, UCLA, Utah, Washington, Arizona State) SEC: Sunday (Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi State) Other conferences with possible At-Large teams: America East: Saturday (Vermont) American: Sunday (Cincinnati, Wichita State, Houston) Atlantic 10: Sunday (Rhode Island, St. Bonaventure) Conference USA: Saturday (Middle Tennessee, Western Kentucky) Missouri Valley: LOYOLA-CHICAGO Mountain West: Saturday (Nevada, Boise State) Summit: SOUTH DAKOTA STATE Sun Belt: Sunday (Louisiana) West Coast: GONZAGA (St. Mary's) WAC: Saturday (New Mexico State) Conferences with only 1 bid no matter what: Atlantic Sun: LIPSCOMB Big Sky: Saturday Big South: RADFORD Big West: Saturday Colonial: CHARLESTON Horizon: WRIGHT STATE Ivy: Sunday Metro Atlantic: IONA MAC: Saturday MEAC: Saturday Northeast: LIU BROOKLYN Ohio Valley: MURRAY STATE Patriot: Wednesday Southern: UNC GREENSBORO Southland: Saturday Southwestern: Saturday Best Case Scenario for Bubble Teams: All Conferences with an At-Large Lock win the tournament That would mean 32 auto-bids + 24 At-Large Locks = 56 Spots taken in the field Assuming teams on the bubble win conferences that don't have any locks, that leaves 24 Bubble Teams That would leave 12 At-Large Spots for the 24 Remaining Bubble Teams The Pecking Order for the remaining Bubble Teams is probably something like this: 1. Butler 2. St. Bonaventure 3. Oklahoma 4. Arizona State 5. Kansas State 6. St. Mary's 7. Baylor 8. Providence 9. USC 10. Texas 11. UCLA 12. Louisville 13. Alabama 14. Marquette 15. Syracuse 16. Nebraska 17. Oklahoma State 18. Mississippi State 19. Washington 20. Notre Dame 21. Utah 22. Penn State 23. Western Kentucky 24. Boise State UPDATED TO REFLECT TUESDAY'S GAMES 1 Quote Link to comment

huskersrule95 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Houston is already in no matter what happens today. I agree with the rest. Although I don’t think it really matters, we don’t have enough to get in no matter what Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 2 hours ago, HS_Coach_C said: On Oklahoma's RPI page, ESPN has the game clearly listed as an away game, not neutral site. ESPN = fake news ? dunno, just where i got the schedule from pulls their info from the wichita st athletic dept. so i guess they either copied wrong or wichita st had no idea where they were playing. and given the way they played, i'll go with that.

HS_Coach_C Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If anyone can stomach it, rooting for Colorado over Arizona State would also help. 1 Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 if BC hangs on vs NC State and beats Clemson tomorrow they become a Q2 win for Nebraska regardless of how they do against UVA or Louisville in the next round after that Quote Link to comment

HS_Coach_C Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just now, GSG said: You were saying Dude from NC State went full Chris Webber! They blew a 12-point lead in less than 2 minutes, they weren't exactly playing great basketball. They recovered and pulled it out, largely because of NC State mistakes. Good for Nebraska and other bubble teams. I'm still not convinced NC State gets left out. Quote Link to comment

HS_Coach_C Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The Puffaloes beat Arizona State. That helps the other bubble teams as well. AZ State has some great non con wins, but they were pretty bad in conference. Quote Link to comment

AZ State has some great non con wins, but they were pretty bad in conference. Arizona State is the exact opposite compared to Nebraska. ASU had some big non-conference wins (including over Kansas, Xavier, and Kansas State), but as you mentioned they finished 9th in the PAC-12, which is just ahead of the Big Ten in RPI conference rankings.
