Bubble teams picked up some huge wins on Friday. Mississippi State downed Tennessee in the SEC Tournament to move out of the “Last 4 In” section of the bracket for now. I have taken the Bulldogs off the bubble.
Tennessee’s loss dropped the Volunteers from the top line of the bracket. The Vols were replaced by North Carolina, which beat Pitt in the ACC Tournament semifinals. The Tar Heels will play potential bid-stealer NC State for the title on Saturday.
The A-10 will bring a bid stealer as well, but in a twist of irony the stolen bid could be Dayton’s. The Flyers have played themselves down the bracket since being noted as a candidate for the selection committee’s top 16 back on Feb. 17.
It’s Bracket time! Play for a Nissan Rogue and Final FourⓇ trips by playing our Men’s and Women’s Challenges.
There is also a potential bid-stealing situation in the American. Florida Atlantic will be an at-large team, but South Florida is the top seed. The Bulls need to win the automatic bid to get in.
In the SEC Tournament, Texas A&M beat Kentucky 97-87 to move into the bracket. There is still work to do for the Aggies, who will play Florida in the semifinals on Saturday.
Colorado is still on the bubble,…
