Lunardi saying that if Indiana St were to lose to Drake, they would be in his field at large. Would not be the case with Drake.

Wonder if Drake Blowing out Indiana St would change his thinking. Becauase that's what's happening right now.

so ISU comes back to make it a 5 point game late. Is that going to be close enough?

Happy to see Drake win. Devries was on the CU staff a long long time. Tucker would’ve been a Jay if his dad didn’t get the Drake job.

Not sure what kind of seed they’ll get. Indiana State is going to have a long week.

I'd guess Drake will be a 11 seed.

by and large a good weekend on the bubble for the league. Not many right around the cutline won. Iowa losing caps it off.

is the loser of st. john's / seton hall still in?

what happens to PC now? is beating georgetown enough to make the cut? must beat creighton?

I think if Seton Hall is the loser, they're in. If St John's is the loser, it's gonna be tough.

I think for PC to feel safe they need to beat Creighton. Same with Nova- think they need to beat Marquette to feel safe.

Kinda sucks the way things are turning out.

Looks like its going to be hard to get 6 bids at this point. Even 4 being a possibility which would be dissapointing. I guess the leagues strong Top-3 is part of the reason

Drake just defeated ISU. Are there bid thief concerns here?

MVC did in fact steal a bid the only way it was likely going to steal one, at least according to Lunardi. Indiana State could still get passed by teams behind them, but for now we might have one less spot to work with. If SJU loses it's slightly less certain now imo. I still think Nova/Providence gets in with 2 wins, but it depends on how other teams do. If Lunardi is right about Providence (7th out), Friars might need 3 wins.

I don't think James Madison gets in with a loss monday, but just in case bubble fans want to see them win Sun Belt final. Other than that just WCC semis to go chalk for monday. Probably no relevant games on Tuesday before things heat up Wednesday.
