This is the worst group of bubble teams we can ever imagine. Terrible. Awful. Nothing gratifying. No whining Sunday if you don’t make it.
So here’s to four of them who may/may not make the dance. None of you have a solid claim. And for that, we dedicate either a song or YouTube video. Enjoy!
THE SYRACUSE ORANGE
Lemme get this straight, coach: Boeheiem: You were up 11 with under four minutes against Pittsburgh, tried to run out the clock, then got a technical foul while you’re team was down one?!?! Are you serious? [youtube width="425" height="335"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNzZzsvOClc[/youtube]
THE MARYLAND TERRAPINS
Wait, you win at North Carolina, then you can’t hold at 23 point lead AT HOME against Clemson OR beat one of the worst teams in the ACC? Did you ever play Wheel of Fortune? [youtube width="425" height="335"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGTybyPvE7c&NR=1[/youtube]
ST. JOSEPH’S HAWKS
So you’re close to locking down a bid, then lose at home to LaSalle, St. Louis and Temple? Then blow a crucial game at Dayton? Seriously? [youtube width="425" height="335"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdk-aH6qLFk&feature=related[/youtube]
ARIZONA STATE SUN DEVILS
We realize you had reasons to schedule easy in non-conference: Injuries, a new coach, a mediocre 2007 season. But a strength of schedule ranked 306th?!?! The likes of Idaho, Florida Gulf Coast, Coppin State, Delaware State, St. Francis (PA), and Montana State? [youtube width="425" height="335"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww[/youtube]
