NCAA Bubble Watch, February 18

When ASU doesn't play for an entire week, things can get a little... stagnant. With that in mind, lets take a look at ESPN's incredibly handy "Bubble Watch" scoreboard.

There are several moderately important bubble games tonight.

#21 Pittsburgh @ Marquette (bubble team, 16-8, 7-5 Big East): When you break down this matchup, you just hope Pittsburgh can beat a tough team on the road. Pitt is currently winning 20-18, but this game is dangerous for all Pac-10 bubble dreams. Can be watched on ESPN360.

USC @ Washington (bubble team, 17-8, 7-6 Pac-10): Luckily, Washington is at home this weekend and can improve their record against a good USC team tonight.

California (bubble team, 17-8, 9-4 Pac-10) @ Oregon State: California should romp here.

Saint Mary's (bubble team, 21-5) @ San Diego: One can only dream that the 9-18 USD squad can take this game down. Can be watched on ESPN360.

On to the final scores in the books...

#18 Vanderbilt won 82-78 at Mississippi (bubble team, now 17-8 and 5-6 in SEC play): This was a big win for Vanderbilt and a huge letdown for Ole Miss. They needed this win; now they look like complete pretenders.

Florida (bubble team, now 18-8 and 7-4 in the SEC) beat a mediocre Auburn team at home, 78-70. Florida may actually have a good shot at getting into the 2010 bracket.

Dayton is now 18-7 after beating La Salle. Wonder how they are going to play into the tournament selections.

I'm cheering for Pittsburgh, California, Washington, and San Diego tonight. The more the good Pac-10 teams win, the more respectable our records begin to look.... right? RIGHT?

At large if we win out?

Think we can get an at large if we win out the regular season or will we still need to win the Pac-ten Tournament?

Keystone win will be Cal

Without that win, it won’t matter about the other 22 IMO.

It's not what you've done but what you are doing that matters.

I just hope they dont forget about Stanford

Don’t want them to over look that game on Thursday. If they are already focusing on Cal I can see a let down game in between U of A and Cal. Go Devils!!
