TN over Miss St - TN is going to make it regardless so need them to take out Miss St.

FL over Bama - Bama has a 500 conf record so a Bama loss probably pushes them out.

OK over Baylor - Both have losing conf records and close overall records. OK sitting better right now, but both teams could get pushed out. You can push for OK to eliminate Baylor, or Hope that Baylor wins and loses later (to push both out)... It will take more to push OK out, so might be safer hoping for Baylor to get eliminated.

Vandy over Missouri. Vandy is already eliminated to so it's an easy call.

NC over Miami - I think Miami is in regardless, but a loss here and against VT this weekend drops them to 500.

TCU over KSU - both have similar records but TCU is sitting at 500 conf. A loss probably kills TCU's chances and a win probably put them on the bubble. Is that enough to knock KSU off though?

StBon and Dav is a toss up. Either could end up winning the A10 Tourney, but StBon could end up getting an at large bid (as could RI if they don't win the tourney). Davidson winning could put them on the bubble....

Definitely SDSt over BoiseSt..

I’m on my phone and can’t check, but didn’t TCU have an awful out of conference schedule? Not sure that would be the dealbreaker between them and Kansas State, but could be a factor. Plus, I think Baylor is closer to being knocked off, and they play Kansas State in the next game. I think a win there would get them back on the bubble. So, rooting for Kansas State to win both games may be beneficial. This bracketology crap it is hard.

Ideally I want them to all beat each other and knock each other off the bubble.

TCU per CBS (i just realized this) is sitting at a 6th seed with KSt a 9.
TCU didn't have big name ooc but had quality (StBon, Bel). SOS is 12.

Wow, 6 seed. Guess I didn’t realize that either. Guess I thought after Fischer got hurt, they fell off the map.

You’d be right then. Go Wildcats.

Bonzie Colson to rejoin Notre Dame against Pittsburgh on Wednesday

Notre Dame standout big man Bonzie Colson, who has missed the past 15 games, will start Wednesday on Senior Night against Pittsburgh, head coach Mike Brey said.

"I was going to put him out there to start the game, even if the doctors didn't clear him, and foul right away just to see the place go crazy," Brey told ESPN on Tuesday night. "Now I don't have to foul. He'll start, and I'm hoping he can play 20 minutes."

Notre Dame began the season 11-3 with Colson in the lineup and is just 6-9 since he has been sidelined with a left foot fracture he suffered in practice.

After Wednesday's game, the Irish (17-12) conclude the regular season Saturday at Virginia. Brey said he is hopeful that Notre Dame can fare well in the final two regular-season games and in the ACC tournament in Brooklyn next week.

"We want to make things interesting for the NCAA tournament committee," Brey said. "We need to show some life and play well in Brooklyn."

The 6-foot-6 Colson, a preseason All-American, was averaging 21.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game before the injury. Notre Dame has also dealt with numerous other injuries this season, but Brey said that everyone besides D.J. Harvey (knee surgery) is available on Wednesday. Standout point guard Matt Farrell (ankle) missed five games in ACC play and the Irish were 1-4 in that stretch.

"We were so fractured during the season," Brey said. "I just hope we give the committee a lot to talk about."

Brey also said that Colson's younger sister, Sydni, will sing the national anthem before Wednesday's game, joking, "It will be Colson family night."

Both have 20-9 records. TCU losing would put them at 8-9 conference (KSU is 9-7). TCU has to got to TX Tech to finish the regular season. KSU has Baylor at home. I think it's more likely TCU dropping off the bubble at 8-10 then KSU at 10-8 or 9-9. Just my opinion.

Always interesting with all the moving parts lol. FEBRUARY MADNESS

Playoffs/March Madness to me always start the last week in Feb... So many moving parts. It's not so interesting when you're team is a lock.... I'm an IU and ND fan (with a little love to Butler), so it's almost always interesting to me :)

By the way we are favored by 21 tomorrow. Shows how much impact bonzie is

I think that's more because Pitt sucks. 8-22 (0-17). Several 20-30 pt losses.

Maybe. Wonder if the line moved when the announcement came out. Also likely got a Senior Night boost.

Yup those scores suck right now. For Miami it would be a huge win.

Also ya I would be interested to see if the line did move once the announcement came out

Not sure when the announcement came out (ESPN reported it this evening), but the line was 21 at 2:30pm, moved to 21.5 at 6ish, and back down to 21 now. 65% of the action is going to ND.

Bonzie is only going to get 15-20 minutes. Don't really need him against Pitt, so not sure how much Vegas factored him in.

Miami only up 6 now. I think it get closer being it's at NC.

OK getting bitch slapped.
