Daily Bubble Talk - Post Game Extra!

Florida State manages to defeat Duke in what turned out to be a disasterous ending, with the FSU officials clearly unable to control the situation. Regardless of that, it's funny how the Duke magic disappears when the 50-50 calls don't go Duke's way :-) Regardless of all that, Florida State has dramatically increased its chances for an NCAA bid. This may have been the breakout victory Leonard Hamilton needed to push this team into the spotlight. They had been on the verge of a breakout for a while. But they have to follow it up with solid perforances in their remaining games.

The Comeback Cats are back! A big W at Tennessee puts them squarely on the uptick of the bubble and they now have their destiny in their own hands for an at-large bid. All they need to do is keep winning :-) Perhaps Tenneessee is starting to wear down or perhaps their success-bubble deflating? :-)

Houston barely avoided losing at home to Rice and punching their ticket to the NIT.

Meanwhile Texas A&M managed to score 40-ish points and beat Texas at home in a horrible slugfest. This, along with Colorado's loss, helps them remain on the bubble for now.

Gary Waters is officially out - just like Mike Davis he will finish the season before ejecting. Apparently we have a new trend. ADs are in a hurry to get a new coach so they push them out as early as possible and they don't mind doing it before their season ends! Who will be the replacement? Fred Hill may have been a "secret head coach designate" all along.
