Davidson in a lot of trouble. Down 11 to Appalachian State. Davidson does not have a chance at an At-Large birth if they lose.

I have had success finding Cinderella teams in the NCAA tournament when i fill out my bracket by finding teams with these things:
Favorable seeds/matchups (of course)
Senior Led teams
Great FT shooting teams
I get excited thinking about Iowa State being that type of cinderella. Im not predicting anything here, but we could be that type of team. If we can avoid the 8-9 seed, i will be very happy.

How are we not a lock. We've won 6 of our last 7 with the loss on the road to a top 30 rpi team. We are just playing for seed next week. Let's say we run it and win the tourny, what seed do we get? Probably a 5 or 6?
Refresh my memory. What 4 games did we choke that bad? They missed out on 5 points in the last minute at the ft line, missing back to back front ends.
I'm clearly not paying close enough attention to the 'maddness' How do we go from being in, winning our last two, one against a top 15 team, to only barely being in? Were we not still in most brackets even before OSU? I was totoally ready to keep the Clones home if they ****** that lead away yesterday, but they didnt and a W is a W. How in the world is there any question regardless of the OU game?
There really shouldn't be any question.
If a large number of craziness happens with auto bids in multi-bid leagues and there are multiple, meaningful wins by bubble teams, there could be some doubt.

Sunday's bubble thoughts:
Temple's win over VCU will likely lock them into the field of 68. With a 4-3 record vs. the Top 50 and a good road record, there's likely no way you can leave them out of the field.
Congrats to Creighton on claiming the auto bid in the Missouri Valley. They would have made the field anyway if they lost, but now I believe they could be one of the dangerous lower seeds in the NCAA tourney. Wichita State should still be fine after keeping it close against Creighton, but they have to be a little nervous especially if other bubble teams step up.
Virginia barely kept their bubble hopes alive by beating Maryland after trailing by 17. While they're still squarely on the bubble, losing to Maryland with all of those bad losses would have eliminated them. In the meantime, Maryland is toast when it comes to at-large discussions. With only 3 top 100 wins, some bad losses in conference, and a horrible non-conference schedule, the Terps are doomed without an automatic bid.
The Minnesota-Illinois game in the First Round of the Big Ten tourney is very interesting to me because both teams come into the conference tournament struggling with a couple of losses to end the season. They both should make the NCAA tournament, but the loser of this game, especially if Minnesota loses, could be sweating coming into Selection Sunday.

espn3. not that impressed with mtsu for all the pub they've got from guys like dan wolken. i just tweeted at rothstein that they would get an at large if they lost and his response was "highly unlikely"
