Bubble Watch
Before the loss to San Francisco, BYU was the "Last Team In" the NCAA Tournament according to ESPN bracketology expert Joe Lunardi. With the loss, the Cougars were downgraded to one of the "First Four Out" in Lunardi's Monday iteration.
The other WCC team on the bubble was San Francisco. The Dons were one of the last four teams projected to avoid a play-in game according to Lunardi. With the win over BYU, San Francisco is safely in the tournament and will likely avoid a play-in game.
