Following the bubble today
posted by Pete @ LetsGoNova.com3/14/2008 03:40:00 PM
Here is a list of games that could affect Villanova's bubble status today. All the games are listed in the preferred outcome for the Wildcats.
I still believe that Villanova will be selected on Sunday for the NCAA tournament.
Obviously, some of these games are orders of magnitude more important than others for Villanova's hopes, but I have listed them all for the sake of completeness. I have highlighted the most important of these games in bold.
The games are listed in chronological order.

What? No times of when the games are being played? And no listing of what channels they will be on, if any? CST, please.
:)
chrono order should be enough, when one game ends just look for the next on the list -- I swear, girls sometimes.
I think if Vandy can beat Arkansas, that will help too no?
Yes, that is why it is listed.
Someone needs to explain to me how Kentucky is considered a lock at 18-11:
Losses at home to Gardner Webb, San Diego, UAB, at Houston, at Florida. Wins against juggernauts such as Central Arkansas, Liberty, Tennessee St., Stony Brook, Florida Int'l, and Tennessee Tech. Yes, they had injuries, but so did everyone else, including Villanova.
pete this is awesome! great job.

And Paul... did you just handpick the way to make Kentucky's resume look the worst it could possibly be?
They did beat Tennessee, Vandy, Arkansas and Florida. True all at home, but they beat 2 very good ranked teams, and 2 strong bubble teams. SEC sucks, but 12-4 in the conference doesn't hurt.
They also played a tough non-conf schedule. UNC, Indiana, and Louisville. Did they beat any? No... but they made an effort.
If you are someone who thinks Nova is in right now, how can you not consider Kentucky a lock?

Ark's win doesnt hurt us so much because they were already ahead of us. VT's win only hurts us if they win tomorrow.
As of 6 pm we are still in with plenty of room, depending on results tonight.
Heading off to Outback in Herndon,VA to watch these games. My Villanova shirt is on...my prayers are set...see you all on Friday!
It sounds like Scottie Reynolds commented on the blog...
Pete, the game by game updates are great! It puts everything in perspective on what has to happen in order for us to get in. I'm just a little worried because all of the analysts are saying that we are out, and this site is probably a bit biased.
A lot of the brackets have us in. It's just ESPN (Lunardi and Glockner) that has us out. CBS, SI, Bracketography all have us in.
The numbers are just working out in Nova's favor tremendously right now. We could still get snubbed, especially if the bubble shrinks or VT and SJU pass us, but it is looking less and less likely.
Wow, St. Joes is smashing the big X
St. Joe's is in.. Nova is out.
Lunardi is probably in bed with the St. Joe's hawk right now.
Memphis wins, which was vitally important. SJU beats X, so the Hawks are now a lock. Illinois beat Purdue, but that loss doesn't hurt at all assuming the Illini do not win the auto-bid.
WVU beating GT would have made our win slightly better, but the game really doesn't matter at all.
Nova is still in decent shape going into the late games.
after that humiliating loss i thought we were out for sure. its good to know we still have a chance, but im not gonna get my hopes up.
End of the night... Nova still looks like it's in good shape.
Kent state really scared me.
