Last Eight In: St. Bonaventure, Butler, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Connecticut, Texas Tech, Syracuse, VCU
First Eight Out: George Washington, Ohio State, Clemson, LSU, BYU, Alabama, Mississippi, Creighton
It almost feels like no one wants to go to the Big Dance. Clemson, Florida State, Alabama and LSU were all on the bubble as of Saturday, and all of them lost to teams they should have beaten. This means that smaller schools like St. Bonaventure, George Washington, and BYU all have very good chances to make the tourney. And oh yeah, Gonzaga is on the bubble now. After another loss to Saint Mary’s, the Zags are no longer first in the WCC and could be in danger of missing the tournament for the first time in 17 years.
