“Fringe Bubble”

Colorado, Arizona St., Baylor

         Kansas was already a 🔐 after they beat Utah this past Saturday. They followed that up with a win over Arizona as their resume just gets stronger and stronger.

“Near Lock”

         Texas Tech beat West Virginia on the road to move within 1 win of sealing a bid. They can lock up their bid tonight by beating Colorado at home.

         BYU snapped a 4 game losing streak by rallying from a double digit deficit to beat Baylor on the road. They’ll play Colorado at home this weekend. If they win that game; any win the rest of the way will be enough to lock them in!

        Rough week last week for UCF. They’ll play lost to Houston and Cincinnati by a combined 44 points. Fortunately, they return home and play two opponents they’ll be favored to beat. They host WVU and TCU. While they should win both games; they’ll likely drop to “Good Shape” if they don’t win both.

“Bubble”

        What a massive win that was for TCU down in FT Worth! The Horned Frogs now own wins over Florida, Wisconsin and Iowa St. Now they’ll head back on the road to play OKST and UCF. If they win either game; you have to like their chances of making the NCAA Tournament moving forward!

        Rough last few days for OKST. After picking up a good win over BYU; the Cowboys got blown out by Arizona and lost to Arizona St. Now they come home to play TCU and Kansas. They’ll have to win at least 1 of these games or else it’s hard to see them making it.

        West Virginia continues to hang around. They won at Cincinnati before falling at home to TTU. Next they play UCF on the road before hosting Utah. They absolutely must beat Utah and it sure would help if they can beat UCF on the road.

“Fringe Bubble”

         Baylor lost 2 tough games against Iowa St. and BYU. They host Louisville in a NonCon game on Saturday. It’s hard to see them making it without getting that one.

         Colorado stayed alive by beating Arizona St. at home. Next up they play TTU and BYU on the road. They’ll have to win 1 of them to stay alive.

        Arizona St. stayed alive by beating OKST last night. They darn near have to win out to have a chance.
