The Bubbler
The higher up each team is on this bubble list, the better. St. Joseph’s has now moved from The Bubble to Safe status. As of Saturday morning, just 10 teams on The Bubble will make the NCAA Tournament, while teams 11 through 20 are on the outside, looking in. Teams listed at numbers 7 through 10 are the last four in. Teams listed at numbers 11 through 14 comprise the first four out. Keep an eye on St. Bonaventure, as the Bonnies could burst a bubble if they win the A-10 title. North Carolina St. could do the same thing with a win over Duke today in the ACC Semifinals. A Georgia win over Kentucky today has to get the Bulldogs moved into the discussion. UGA finished tied for second in the SEC with a 12-6 record, and the Committee has to give that some serious thought.
