Waving the Bubble Wand

Did you blow bubbles when you were a kid?
You did?
Well he's asking for you, he's back in town.....


A dozen Division 1 basketball teams are sitting on pins and needles this weekend hoping that their school makes the “big dance.” These "bubble teams" can only hope that their season pays off Sunday when/if they are chosen for the 2010 Men’s Basketball NCAA Tournament.

Joe Lunardi, the ESPN’s “Bracketologist” has been deciphering which teams he thinks deserves to be chosen for this year’s NCAA tournament. He has been going through these “bubble” team’s strength of schedules, good wins, bad losses, and RPI for the past 3 months predicting who are the “Last 4 In” and the “Last 4 Out.”

So for all of the AVID FOLLOWERS OF THIS BLOG, or the teams that are sitting in their locker room tomorrow hoping that their bubble doesn't burst, I will assume Joe Lunardi’s job and give you my bubble teams...rather “situations” for Ted Cullinane’s own “2010 Life Tournament.”

Don't ask what RPI is. No body knows what it really does.

My “Last 4 In”
