They've only played one of them - and lost to Memphis.<br /><br />A lot has changed in the two weeks since we made those comments. A 4-1 finish might still not be enough to get Gonzaga in, but it has a better chance of getting them in than it did two weeks ago. The bubble is getting softer by the day and it seems that everyday, 1 or 2 teams play their way off of it. If Gonzaga wins out and gets to the WCC final, they're likely going to get in. If they lose to St. Mary's, finish 4-1, and make the final, they'll be one of the last teams in or out on Selection Sunday.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-62806239187712319042011-02-13T16:18:19.289-05:002011-02-13T16:18:19.289-05:00^About two weeks ago you said that if Gonaga lost ...^About two weeks ago you said that if Gonaga lost either of their games against St. Mary's or Memphis they would have to win out until the WCC Final.

Washington State still has a chance to get back in, but the Cougars will have to solve their problems on the road and finish at worst 3-2 down the stretch. They'll also have to win at least a game in the Pac-10 tourney. Gonzaga needs at worst a 4-1 finish and a trip to the WCC final.<br /><br />Cincinnati will likely be on the 11 line tomorrow.Bracketology 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277396896660963269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-75691144205574263492011-02-13T15:15:32.516-05:002011-02-13T15:15:32.516-05:00Marquette loses by 9 @ Georgetown and Illinois los...Marquette loses by 9 @ Georgetown and Illinois loses by 11 at home against Purdue.<br /><br />Purdue: 20-5, 9-3 Big Ten<br />Illinois: 16-9, 6-6 Big Ten<br />Georgetown: 20-5, 9-4 Big East<br />Marquette: 15-10, 6-6 Big EastAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-10270383521683097792011-02-13T14:52:20.917-05:002011-02-13T14:52:20.917-05:00Tough loss for Cincinnati at home against St. John...Tough loss for Cincinnati at home against St. John's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-32410936095591121362011-02-13T13:55:53.924-05:002011-02-13T13:55:53.924-05:00I highly doubt that princeton will be able to jump...I highly doubt that princeton will be able to jump into the top 50 since their sos will drop and drop and drop as they keep playing terrible teams.
