Last Eight In: Southern Miss, Colorado State, North Carolina State, Miami (FL), South Florida, Mississippi State, West Virginia, Washington
First Eight Out: Xavier, Mississippi, Drexel, Iona, Colorado, Seton Hall, Northwestern, Washington
Most of the bubble teams actually won on Friday. Xavier and Mississippi got quality wins, but there is no room for them in the NCAA Tournament quite yet. But those two are right on the bubble and it could go either way. But at least Xavier and Mississippi can still play their way into the big dance. Teams like Southern Miss, Colorado State, Miami, Drexel and Iona can do nothing but sit back and hope other bubble teams lose and that there are no major surprises taking away a spot. That means cheer for Memphis and Long Beach State to take care of business on Saturday. Otherwise, the bubble will get much busier if the Tigers and 49ers join the fray.
