Bubble Watch: Feb 22, 2012 Edition

There were eight bubble games last night.  These games have of course affected the bubble, but we are keeping the same 20 teams on the bubble since we have no updates from Bracket Project. Minuses in front of team names indicate losses since the last Bracket Project update while pluses denote wins.


Team (included in field by bracketologists)
West Virginia (54/55)
- Mississippi St (53)
+ Connecticut (53)
Alabama (52)
+ Seton Hall (52)
BYU (51)
- Texas (50)
- Xavier (49)
- Miami (49)
- NU (48)

- NC State (28)
Arizona (27)
St Joseph's (14)
South Florida (10)
- Illinois (9)
+ Colorado St (8)
VCU (8)
Minnesota (5)


Aside from the disappointing loss to Michigan last night was ok from a bubble watch perspective.  Of note Seton Hall played its way off the bubble while Colorado St put itself very much in the mix with an upset at home over a ranked New Mexico team (thanks for nothing Steve Alford).

Below are the bubble games on tap for tonight:
