Nothing serious bubble-wise, as a good number of these teams will make it to the Dance. Memphis tried to start their Cinderella push to get them there, but
they fell short to Louisville by a free throw at the Conference USA title game.
Darius Washington was fouled on a three point shot at the buzzer and down by two, but could only convert one of those three free throws. That's a tough way to get left out, but maybe they can use that momentum to make a run in the NIT.
If Georgia Tech was a bubble team coming into Saturday's game against North Carolina, they aren't any longer.
Tech beat my Tarheels by three. Sloppy officiating along with UNC allowing another flavor of the day to go wild, as Will Bynum put up 35 pts. For some reason, Carolina has started a nasty habit of allowing one guy that's usually not the leader of the team to step up to look like a star. They usually are able to step up and make a run at the end to close the game, but they weren't able to today.
Even with all of that happening, McCants had a chance to cut the lead into single digits when he was fouled on a three point play, but only hit one of those three (Sound familiar, Memphis?). They got the rebound off the third ft and McCants hit the three on the wing and made it a one point game. But they foul Bynum on the other end, he hits his two, and McCants misses the buzzer beating three that could have sent the game into OT.
Games to watch tonight: George Washington vs. St. Joseph's (the losing team could be left out of the Dance), Buffalo vs. Ohio (same situation there), Utah St. vs. Pacific, New Mexico vs. Utah, UTEP vs. Boise State.
