Last Eight In: Florida, Rutgers, Bowling Green, BYU, Vanderbilt, St. John’s, Oregon State, Georgia Tech
First Eight Out: Villanova, Florida State, Saint Joseph’s, Minnesota, Creighton, Southern Miss, Iona, South Florida
The big bubble bursting on Friday happened in the MAC. Both Bowling Green and Central Michigan were upset and the shrinking bubble means more teams will be feeling nervous heading into Monday. The tournament has to make room for either Ball State or Akron, but the Falcons and Chippewas have thrown their names into the bubble mix. At 27-3, Bowling Green should be in, but it is close. CMU moved out of our first eight out and those two losses to end the year hurt bad. Still, two MAC teams in the NCAA Tournament is one more than we expected just a day ago.
