Bracketology Bubble Watch: Seton Hall is still alive as….

0

Sunday was a rough day for Seton Hall. UConn, a No. 1 seed in the latest Bracketology, made the Pirates walk the plank in a 91-61 Huskies victory.  Fortunately for Seton Hall, the first team out in Monday’s projected bracket, it only counts as one loss.  

The Pirates finish the regular season with home games against Villanova and DePaul. Those are most likely must-win games for Seton Hall’s at-large hopes. The game against Villanova is especially important because the Wildcats are another one of the pile of Big East bubble teams trying to fight their way into the field.

Nebraska, a No. 10 seed in the projected bracket, continued its home-court dominance with a 67-56 win over Rutgers. The Cornhuskers won’t take the floor again until Sunday when they travel to Michigan.

Colorado stayed alive in the hunt for an at-large spot with a 81-71 win at home over Stanford. The Buffaloes get the Oregon road trip to end the regular season.  The game at Oregon is a Quad 1 opportunity. The Ducks are a longshot to make the field as one of the “Next Four Out”, but it isn’t out of the question.

The biggest game on tap for Monday is Texas at Baylor. The Bears have recently moved up to a No. 2 seed in the bracket projection. The Longhorns are currently projected as a No. 9 seed, but could move up higher with a win over the Bears.
