 Posted: 02/28/15 7:17 pm ::: Bursting Bubbles? |
Reply  |

So, Which Mid-Majors need to win their conference tourney in order to prevent a bubble being burst elsewhere? The following are all teams that are in the top 34 of RPI. I guess what I'm trying to ask, is which conferences are bubble teams such as St. Johns, Tulane, LSU, Middle Tennesee, and Pacific watching carefully?
American: UConn
Atlantic 10: George Washington
CAA: James Madison
C-USA: WKU
Green Bay: Horizon
MAAC: Quinnipac
SOCON: Chattanooga

I think both Pacific and MTSU have bubbled themselves out unless they somehow win their tourneys.

GW and UTC are in regardless of whether they win their tournament. Dayton is probably in from the A10 too. If some dark horse wins those tourneys they'll be stealing a bid.
Not sure about WKU, and What about FGCU? They might be in regardless too.

Ivy doesn't have a tournament. Haven't they already clinched the title?

Penn is 2.5 back with 3 to play for the Tigers and 4 for the Quakers... and the season finale is at Penn. Theoretically, if Princeton were to be visited by the Mon-Stars and divested of all their talent, thus falling flat on their face in the last three games, and if Penn won their last four, Penn could overtake them.

Not yet, Penn trails by two games and Princeton has three games left. If Princeton goes 1-2 (and Penn beats Princeton) then the two teams go to a one game play-off to decide who gets the Ivy's auto bid.

Yeah, but if Princeton loses enough games to lose the Ivy League title, they won't be awarded an at-large bid.
