The Bubble- Buy or Sell

Bubble Report

Dayton- A lost to St. Louis really hurts. They have to avoid the swoon they had last season. Chris Wright is a year more seasoned, so that should help. As does a win over Xavier. And one against Marquette. With a 23-4 record, they should be okay. Buy

Miami- The BC win was big because they are competing for ther same spot. The FSU lost was huge because they are competing for the same spot. The UNC loss was a missed opportunity. Miami is 5-8 in the ACC, which is not good enough. They have a great chance to rectify that with games against UVA, G-Tech, and N.C. State remaining. One or two more wins in the ACC Tournament should do it. But for now. . . Sell

Maryland- The UNC win is huge!!! It's against the #3 team in the nation, it's against a hot team, and it brings them to .500 in the ACC. If they can get a win over N.C. State and at least one over Duke or Wake Forest, they are golden. Buy

Illinois State- Losing to Niagra, pretty much puts them out of this argument. They have a 22-6 record and have a win over Creighton, that's about it. One more over Creighton will help, but they probably need to win the Missouri Valley Tournament. Sell
