Breaking down the Bubble
Published on March 8, 2012 by Scott Shirley · No CommentsMarch is all about the bubble. It seems as the NCAA tournament approaches everyone talks about the teams that are the last ones in or the last ones out of the tournament. We hear more about bubble teams than the teams that have a shot to win the title. Below are the resumes of various bubble teams this season. This is what the NCAA committee is looking at when deciding who to put in the tournament. So take a look at these resumes and decide who you would put in the big dance. These teams are likely fighting for 6 or 7 spots.
