Minnesota winning would help us because we beat them, if it gets down to us and Minnesota we will have the edge.

It's a thin line. If Minnesota is a stone cold lock for the tournament by beating Wisconsin, then that's another tournament team that we beat. Right now our only wins over tournament teams are SMU and Kentucky twice.

We need Stanford and Oregon to lose today.
A Stanford loss would knock them off the bubble most likely while devaluing BYU and Pitts' best win. That would knock Pitt off the bubble and possibly move BYU further down or to the next four out category, if BYU is bumped off, Minnesota can move in without knocking Arkansas out.
Obviously, Arkansas wins the next 2 and they take care of all the scenarios themselves, if this team wants to make the tourney they know what they have to do today and tomorrow, win.

Florida St. and Marlyand tipping off.
Winner stays on the "next" bubbles, the other likely picks up a NIT bid.

Maryland up at the half.
Pull for Maryland to win.

Florida state is in the exact same position every year it seems like. Hope they lose and are completely out of the equation. Maryland probably has to win 3 games in the ACCt to have a chance. FSU would be a lock if they won today and beat Virginia.

Well yeah, they would bump Dayton or BYU out if Arkansas also beat Carolina and Tennessee.

Cal could go either way, but I don't see them beating Colorado. They are on a major skid as of late.
Cal just beating Colorado at home last weekend. I still think Colorado will win.
I still think Arky fans have to root for Penn State to eliminate Minnesota. Its always nice to get rid of as many bubble teams as possible Thursday and Friday because there will be teams that threaten the auto bid by getting to a final. It happens almost every year, someone like Seton Hall, Illinois, Houston, West Virginia or Marquette will make the final and shrink the bubble if they were to win.

Houston beats SMU. SMU probably in, but they have only 3 top 100 wins.

Iowa St. beat Kansas St. today as well.

Would like to contribute o the thread buy I think we're sunk unless we win the tourney. I guess wins ove OM and UK could make things interesting, but we probably still wouldn't make it.
