Did folks see Dave Shondell's plea on Twitter for the Boilers to get in?

Yeah. I am really torn. On the one hand they had the same conf record as the Badgers in 2013. On the other hand, they backed their way in and they cannot play well on the road. They have no signature wins. MSU beat them, pulling up their RPI ahead of them.

And Wisconsin didn't lose to St. Louis, Iowa, and WKU.

I really feel for Minny. I wish they beat OSU, i would make a case if they did. I'd rather see Minny than Sparty I'm thankful there are not more schools where some people want to call them nick names like Minny and Sparty. Thank my lucky stars there's not a Stanny and Washy; Texy and Whisky. Oh, wait, there is a Whisky. But glad there's not a Nebby or Cally. But there is that weird WAZZU. Nobody who actually roots for "Wisky" ever calls it that. I hate the term.

Big 10 sighs a BIG relief with Illinois State and Creighton taking care of business. had both of those teams lost their conference tournaments I think that MSU, Purdue, Minnesota will almost assuredly have gotten left out. All three still can get left out, but the bubble is bigger now.

I only use wisky when it allows me to also use the term washy.

So with 99.9% of the precincts reporting, here's how it looks:
32 Conference Champions 1 Stanford (Pac-12) 2 Texas (Big 12) 5 North Carolina (ACC) 6 Wisconsin (Big Ten) 7 Florida (SEC) 12 Colorado State (Mountain West) 17 BYU (West Coast) 24 Creighton (Big East) 27 Long Beach State (Big West) 30 UCF (AAC) 31 Western Kentucky (Conference USA) 32 Illinois State (Missouri Valley) 33 Arkansas-Little Rock (Sun Belt) 58 Dayton (Atlantic 10) 59 LIU Brooklyn (Northeast) 65 Yale (Ivy League) 66 Coastal Carolina (Big South) 69 Denver (Summit) 71 American (Patriot) 77 Northern Colorado (Big Sky) 87 Hofstra (CAA) 106 Oakland (Horizon) 112 Murray State (Ohio Valley) 124 Samford (Southern) 137 Western Michigan (MAC) 147 Jacksonville (Atlantic Sun) 166 Hampton (MEAC) 187 Siena (MAAC) 205 CSU Bakersfield (WAC) 209 New Hampshire (America East) 218 Northwestern State (Southland) 271 Alabama State (SWAC)
LOCKS (25) 3 Florida State 4 Washington 8 Illinois 9 Penn State 10 Oregon 11 Kansas 13 Kentucky 14 Nebraska 15 Iowa State 16 Arizona 18 UCLA 19 Texas A&M 20 Oklahoma 21 Duke 22 USC 23 Kansas State 25 Marquette 26 Colorado 29 Alabama 34 Ohio State 36 LSU 37 Oregon State 38 Hawaii 39 Utah 40 Arizona State
PROBABLY IN (3) 28 Miami-FL 42 Loyola Marymount 43 San Diego
SQUARELY ON THE BUBBLE (4 out of 8 get in) 35 Lipscomb 41 SMU 44 Ohio 45 Cal State Northridge 46 Santa Clara 47 Seton Hall 48 Michigan State 49 Pacific
LONG SHOTS 51 Virginia Tech 55 Minnesota 56 Purdue
I'll leave it to the professionals to split hairs between those 8 teams on the bubble. If Hawaii loses tonight, they certainly drop down to the bubble.

I lived in Madison for five years about 30 years ago and never heard anyone refer to "Wisky" but I assumed this was a new moniker for the Badgers. I'm actually glad to hear that a Badger fan disavows it.

At this point, I think Michigan State is in (but I am usually wrong). Seems like Pittsburgh should be considered as a long shot?
