Last night brought bubble carnage! Here is my bid-watch. As you can see it has the tentative last teams in/out listed there on the “bubble in” vs. “bubble out: sections.

I will add that UConn vs. Iowa State vs. Houston is officially the big debate and I think the final 1 seed will be Iowa State’s on Saturday, but TBD at this moment.
Otherwise, the SEC is chaotic with practically everyone locked or on the bubble.
Thursday promises to bring us intense mid-major action all over the place!
