Musings

There will be another bracket projection before bedtime. I am waiting until after the finals of the Big East and WAC tournaments before finalizing tonight's projection. There will be one more tomorrow afternoon before the real selection committee makes theirs public at 5 PM CDT.

The bubble teams are still sweating. Oklahoma State lost to Texas today in the Big XII, making at least one at-large bid safe. Arkansas is still alive in the SEC, and is set to play Florida in the final. It seems like Arkansas just played Florida in the SEC football championship game at the Georgia Dome. Tomorrow, they're going to do the same thing in hoops. And, N.C. State is still alive in the ACC, having won three in a row in Tampa. They have a tall order tomorrow, as they face archrival North Carolina.

Among today's automatic qualifiers, so far: Albany, Memphis, Oregon, Florida A&M, Jackson State, George Washington, Miami (Ohio), and UNLV. Catch SportsCenter for the buzzer-beaters that sent FAMU and Miami to the Big Dance, as both were great plays.

More later...
