As a weekend of big games is upon us, I wanted to talk about top seeds & bubbles before the action got going big-time.
After Miami's loss this week, it's Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville & IU in the top slots. But IU isn't playing well and I'd be tempted to say this slot is up to who wins the Michigan-IU game Sunday.
On the other end, Kentucky is playing Florida now. They probably need to win to get in.
Purdue is playing Minnesota. A Minnesota loss after Wednesday's loss to Nebraska wouldn't help, though Lunardi has them a 9 seed.
On our other "watches" -- LaSalle seems safe, but Temple and Virginia (which I'm told isn't really "local") are on the bubble.
Temple has VCU tomorrow in a tough game. A win in that will seal them in.
Virginia and Maryland play each other tomorrow. We've been watching both. At 20-9 and 20-10, respectively, and the win helps the winner (of course). Right now Virginia is in and Maryland on the outside of the bubble. There are some great games, but this one has a lot of meaning for the combatants.
We'll be back on the watch tomorrow evening.
Go Purdue!
