I'm as gum-dipped blue as anybody, and I could make a case for UK's bubble status too...but I'm pretty done with this year's squad. With Nerlens, things were a bit different, but one kid doesn't make a team. Part of me thinks the committee will put them in because they're close, they're defending National Champs, and they're Kentucky. They did beat Florida, Missouri, and Old Miss. BUT, they got crucified at Tennessee, boar-hogged by Arkansas, chicken-kicked by Georgia, and racked in the apple-sack by Vandy on the road. We didn't beat Duke, Louisville. Tennessee beat Florida and Mizzou too. Ole Miss beat Mizzou twice, but doesn't really have any other quality wins to rest their hats on. If they win the SEC Tourney today against Florida, game on.

I do know, looking at bubble teams, that Virginia and Maryland are compelling because of wins over Duke and UNC and NC State...but I'm not sure they're much better.

We'll see how the committee picks it soon enough tonight.

Louisville has a great shot over Indiana and Duke to cut down the nets. They're playing good basketball.
