March 13th Madness

No bubble spots were lost during Saturday's action but teams did solidify their standing in the eyes of the committee.

• Marquette is now a lock. There's no doubt in my mind that 11 teams from the Big East will make the tournament. 
• I currently have Alabama as the last team IN. With only three tournament finals in action Sunday, there's a decent chance they're safe.
• One scenario where Alabama fails to qualify is if Dayton upsets Richmond in the Atlantic 10 final. Richmond's win over Temple solidified their status as an at-large team.
• I'm really not too confident in the last two teams I have as IN. Alabama won the SEC West but has too many bad losses and no good wins in non-conference play. The same can be said for Penn St. who has a chance to improve their profile considerably in their bout with Ohio State.
