I wouldn't call UCLA a lock yet, especially after losing to Minnesota yesterday. I'd throw their game against Nebraska on there and make the UCLA v USC game a tbd.

USC is done. The home L to Oregon was bad. Now Chad Baker-Mazara has left the team. I just hate that for self-centered Musselman.

Yeah I still think the loser of the game is toast and the winner isn't necessarily in the clear.

Also missing one tonight.

Duke at NC State

If NC State drops this one they're definitely in the danger zone. They probably still make it as long as they beat Stanford on Saturday but Stanford just beat the brakes off of SMU so I don't think that's an absolute lock.

Stanford coming east makes that one tough to hope for, but drop both and they're definitely feeling very nervous.

It is wild how large the bubble is this year, but it isn't deep at all. Most of the teams considered on the bubble will get a bid, with like ~4-5 hopeful teams getting left out. The bubble just extends from teams almost on the 8 line to all the way out at this point with just a week to go.

Yeah, I've also seen too many throw out general things like "win one in the SEC Tournament" but how the seeds for these tournaments shake out is going to make a huge difference.

Like right now NC State would have to play Stanford again before they played anyone that could help them.

If we're the 9 seed or worse we're going to be playing a first game that doesn't help us at all.
