going to have 2 NCAA bids handed out today. OVC obviously but with Bellarmine(still in transition) beating Liberty in the semifinal in the Atlantic Sun, the winner of Jacksonville/Jacksonville St will be the auto bid team no matter the result in the final.

Were they even aware of this? It didn't look like much of a celebration.

so actually- instead of the team that goes the furthest in that conference- it's the regular season conference champs which is Jacksonville St.

Gothca. So it's still either Jacksonville or Jacksonville state.

Murray State can fall pretty far down if they lose tonight.

All bubble teams are really happy right now.

Yeah, this being a Big East board and Xavier being the only BE team currently on the bubble, it helps. BUT, I don't think X gets in with just a Wednesday W at MSG. There is way too much opportunity for movement in these large tournaments.

IMO, Indiana would be in if they make the B10 Finals because there would be multiple additional wins.....likely a marquee one. Same with Florida, no? Hell, I think if Oregon/VaTech make their Championship, that spells trouble for X.....it's even possible with BYU.

Also, if Drake beats Loyola for the 3rd time Sunday, that steals a bid because LUC has a strong enough NET to slip by. What about Davidson. Do they get in without an A10 crown? Probably, if they lose a close one in the finals.

Any/All of these scenarios would adversely effect a 20 win Xavier team that hobbled to the finish line.

BYU started fouling with 2 minutes left. This will take forever to play out.

SDSU game suddenly very interesting.
