With Georgia Tech and Duke advancing to the ACC tourney final, and Temple and Richmond to the A-10 championship, there will be no bid stealing in those conferences. This means there will be at least 3 bids for the Bubble teams identified in our last update. So things look good for San Diego State and -- despite their losses today -- Illinois and UTEP.Elsewhere on the Bubble / Bid Burglar front, Tubby Smith and Minnesota have continued their remarkable Big Ten tourney run with an absolute pounding of Purdue. And Missisippi State is one win closer to pulling off their second straight miracle run to the Tournament via the SEC championship, after a big win over Vandy in the semis. Even if these two teams fall short tomorrow, they may get at-large bids. There are a lot of nervous folks in Blacksburg and Gainesville.
