Wow, less than a month in and the bubble's already thin...

The bubble is a bit thin right now. Obviously BC's loss to Yale was bad, but they also lost to another bad Ivy League team two years ago (a Harvard team that was actually inferior to this year's Yale team) and they still made the Tournament.

Let's keep in mind that BC has really upgraded at head coach, and it's already showing up in things like free throw shooting, turnovers and defensive rebounding. I really do believe BC is going to be a pretty good team this season.

With Rhode Island's loss to lowly Univ Ill Chicago, you may need to remove them from any bubble consideration. Just awful.

Delroy James can't stay out of foul trouble. He continues to pick up 2 fouls within the first 5 min of each game. When your best player can't stay on the court (& with only 9 scholarship players available right now, they need all the bodies they can get) things are not looking good.

That was a really bad loss, although UIC is better than they were last season. Teams can overcome one bad loss in a season, particularly in November, so Rhode Island just has to start playing better and they will be able to get back to the bubble.
