Final Week of Men’s Hoops

2 March 2009 Posted by David 585 views No Comment

For most conferences, this is the final week of men’s college basketball. Conference tournaments will start mid-next week, then we’re off to the NCAA Tourney. All eyes will be glued to the TV on Selection Sunday (March 15) to see if you’re favorite team makes the big dance.

A lot of movement can be made in the last week of the regular season. Some teams are on the bubble, and others are playing for that #1 seed. The Florida Gators have must win games against Mississippi State and Kentucky, and Duke has a rematch against No. 2 North Carolina. There is no time left to makeup a bad loss.

Some teams “On The Bubble” right now are:
Penn State
Providence
Creighton
Arizona
Florida
Michigan
Minnesota
San Diego State

Like I said though, anything can happen. An unlikely, but possible way for “bubble teams” to get in the NCAA Tournament is to win their conference tournament. Conference tournament champions from each Division I conference receive an automatic bid.

Which of the “bubble teams” listed above do you think will get in?
