Thursdays's Bubble Winners and Losers

Winners
Oklahoma State - Most had the Cowboys on the right side of the bubble, but there should be no doubt after their win over Oklahoma.

Virginia Tech - The VT/Miami game looked to be an elimination game and the Hokies came out on top. I'm not convinced they're in for sure, but they managed to keep their tourney hopes alive.

Kentucky - The Wildcats probably aren't in yet, but a win over LSU today would help a lot.

Michigan - The Wolverines are squarely on the bubble and a loss to Iowa could have ended their tourney hopes. A win over Illinois would have Michigan feeling pretty good about their chances.

Minnesota - Another Big 10 team squarely on the bubble. They have a chance to lock up a bid with a win over Michigan State.

Temple - Temple beat a decent St. Joseph's team and now gets a shot for a signature win against Xavier.

USC - The Trojans probably still have work to do, but a win over Cal is a nice start.

Penn State - Avoided a bad loss to Indiana and can lock up a bid with a win over Purdue.

Losers
Arizona - The bad news is the Wildcats lost 5 of 6 to end the season. The good news is they should get back on track with a nice match-up in the opening round of the NIT.

Kansas State - K-State needed a second win over Texas to make up for their weak non-conference schedule.

Miami (FL) - The 'Canes will be sweating it out on Selection Sunday, but 7-9 in the ACC going 4-8 in their last 12 probably means Miami will be left out.

UNLV - With their 9-7 record in the MWC, the Rebels needed to do some work in the conference tournament. Their loss to SDSU knocks them completley off the bubble.

Rhode Island - The loss to Duquesne ends the Rams NCCA hopes.

New Mexico - I had a hard time seeing 4 teams from the MWC earn bids and with their loss to Wyoming, New Mexico may be the team that gets left out.
