News/Notes:
1) Ouch! You want to talk about playing yourself out of the field? Lose at home by 20 to a fellow bubbler and fall to .500 in a conference where a .500 team is likely not getting in. That'll sting for Charlotte. But Temple moves into the Last Four Byes, and is strengthening their position. Charlotte is out of my "really on the bubble" list.
2) Saint John's has something to say in the home blowout loss department, getting killed by Pitt. They were the last team in, and Mississippi takes their place.
3) I heard commentators during games yesterday say that Cincinnati and Illinois were both right on the bubble. Say what?
4) New feature: teams who are locks are in normal font, teams who are in the "should be in" are in italics, teams "really on the bubble" are in bold and "bubble fringe" teams are underlined. (Small conference auto-bids are also in normal).
5) Remember, the seed list snakes, so Indiana is the top #1 seed, Michigan the top 2, New Mexico the top 3, 'Zona the top 4, etc.
1: Indiana, Duke, Miami (FL), Gonzaga
2: Louisville, Kansas, Florida, Michigan
3: New Mexico, Michigan State, Georgetown, Syracuse
