I'm shocked the Ducks are still in the hunt. They have been bad in conference play. Is it just me, or is the quality of play in college basketball on the decline especially in the middle to bottom rung tournament teams? Before 68, it always seemed like there were few decent teams who got left out and now it seems like there are teams that will get in only becasuse they have to fill the field.

God forbid 96.

BTW, go Seminoles. Help us add another top 50 win.

At this point it appears we could have several at-large teams with below .500 conference records, with Oregon, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and perhaps the Gophers the most likely candidates. They all have at least two decent nonconference wins. ...

Oregon: vs. Georgetown, @ Ole Miss, BYU;

Oklahoma State: Memphis, vs. Louisiana Tech, vs. Colorado;

Baylor: vs. Colorado, vs. Dayton, vs. Kentucky

Gophers: @ Richmond, Florida State;

. ... so if any of 'em finish 8-10 in their conference, they'll have a decent chance of making the tournament. An uneasy Selection Sunday, yes, but at least a chance.

The expansion to 68 has really weakened the bubble.

Oregon has an opportunity to finish strong to still get a respectable record.
Despite that, with the bubble how it is, they are still in contention how they are right now with the horrible record.
