Dribbles & Scribbles
-- My dozen most Bubblicious teams heading into Week 13, only six of which would make the tournament: Butler, Miami-Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio State, Santa Clara, Seton Hall, Stanford, Texas, TCU, USC and Virginia Tech.
-- There are quite a few postponements today due to the weather, but we have a banger at 8 p.m. tonight, undefeated Arizona @ BYU (ESPN). February is almost here. Things will get more tense and testy real fast as the urgency of March/Championship Week approaches. The last week of January is when we start seeing more unexpected losses by teams feeling the pressure of their "bubble" status (not the case in this game). The judgmental eyes of March are cast upon those precariously sitting on the fence.
