As The Bubble Blows

The four teams that could have popped some bubbles all lost Saturday, which is good news for teams like Middle Tennessee, BoiseState, and Ole Miss. U Mass, Southern Mississippi, and Alabama are on the bad side of The Bubble after falling, while Vanderbilt’s season is over.

Maryland will have to wait it out to see if they get a bid after falling to North Carolina. The Terps have probably done enough to get in, but the Selection Committee could choose someone like BoiseState ahead of them.

Akron’s winning the MAC Championship Game was another beneficial factor for the Bubble teams, because the Zips would have earned an at-large bid had they lost to Ohio.

Stephen F. Austin lost in the finals of the Southland Conference Tournament to NorthwesternState, but even at 27-4, the Lumberjacks are not going to be okay.
