Figured I'd track the teams around MIZZOU. So many focus on MIZZOU, but this will illustrate how the bubble is strengthening or weakening. Will update with results.
Per Bracket Matrix where MIZZOU is the last 8 seed. Rankings are Kenpom as of 2/27..
+X is the spots a team has improved since the original list (Monday 2-27)
-Y is the spots a team has moved closer to the bubble or out of the dance
Moved up from 8 line:
+2 TAMU @ #115 Ole Miss (Won 69-61)
8 seeds:
+3 Iowa @ #21 Indiana (Won 90-68) - Wow!
-3 Illini vs #42 Michigan (Won 91-87 2OT)
Arkansas @ #4 Tenn (Lost 57-75) - Ouch!
+1 MIZZOU @ 150 LSU (Won 81-76)
9 Seeds:
-3 Providence vs #18 Xavier (Lost 89-94)
Rutgers @ 222 Minn (Lost 74-75) - OUCH!
+1 Auto Qualifier spot (Florida Atlantic)
+4 Boise St vs 16 SD St (Won 66-60)
10 Seeds:
+2 Pitt @171 ND (Lost 81-88) - Ouch
NC St @ 34 Duke (Lost 67-71)
+3 USC vs 11 Zona (Lost 81-87)
-3 Auburn @ 3 Bama (Lost 85-90 OT)
11 Seeds:
Memphis @ 175 SMU (Won 81-62)
+2 WVU @ 24 ISU (Won 72-69)
Teams in the play-in (11 seeds):
-8 Nevada @ 166 Wyoming (Lost 71-80) - Ouch!
-1 Miss St vs 221 SC (Won 74-68)
+1 Wisc vs 6 Purdue (lost 61-63)
+1 ASU @ #2 UCLA (Lost 61-79)
Teams not in the field (on more than 2 brackets on 3/2):
+1 UNC @ #204 FSU (Won 77-66)
+1 Utah St @ #85 UNLV (Won 91-66)
+1 Michigan @ #34 Illini (Lost 87-91 OT)
-5 Okie St vs 13 Baylor (Lost 68-74) Falls out of the field on 5 game losing streak
Be aware that brackets aren't all updated real time. So we will see lag movement in this. Like Nevada improving despite lose to Wyoming on Monday. I wanted to pick a point in time and see the macro movement so it is what it is, not perfect. But that being said, I updated the above to be the final BM update for 2/27, so should have as much of the weekend in it and no Monday results.
