The Bubble Report
Kent State- (MAC)- Kent scored a huge brackbusting win agsinst St. Mary's and then gave it back with a loss to Bowling Green a week later. They have 23 wins, including wins vs. George Mason and Akron. Will a win in the season finale against Akron be enough? Will going deep in the tournament be enough? I say no to both. This team's biggest win is the St. Mary's one and George Mason, which isn't all that valuable. They need to win their tourney. Bubble fading!
Baylor- (Big 12)- After a hot start, Baylor is losing in every way imaginable. Including getting roughed up by Oklahoma. To get in they will need to go on a little bit of a run at the end of season and in the tourney. They have good guards, but do they have enough to survive to the end in a tough conference?Bubble fading!
Dayton- (A-10)- Another team on fire to start the season. First, they exacted revenge on Pitt for a brutal beatdown from the previous year. Then they took Louisville to the woodshed. Both tourney teams. Since then, injuries have left them a little loss. A loss at LaSalle and a missed opportunity against Xavier cut deep, but is not too late for the Flyers. They need one more win against a quality opponent- Flat soda!
Miami- (ACC)- Started hot, fizzled a little, and has been on fire down the stretch. They have recently gotten both the signature win (Duke) and the win versus a bubble team (UVA). I think Jack McClinton and the boys have this wrapped up but another win and a strong tourney run would help. Bubble rising!
