Bubble Watch

Syracuse is strictly on the bubble right now and here is their tournament resume according to ESPN.

Syracuse [19-8 (8-5), RPI: 64, SOS: 57] That's more like it from the up-and-down Orange, as they took care of all three in this winnable stretch to get to 8-5 in league play. The final three (at Provy, G'town, at Nova) are not easy, and with the relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers, Syracuse might need to get two of those to get on the right side of the fence. The good news is that they are in a three-way tie for fourth right now in a conference that will get many more bids than that. The bad news is that 10th place is only a game back in the loss column.

I think the Orange needs two wins and probably won't get them (Georgetown is really big which means Roberts and Watkins will both foul out in the first half and Villanova on the road will be very tough). That would leave them on the bubble going into the Big East Tournament, same as last year.
