Bubble Wrap 3/12/06

The only game of bubble significance is the SEC Championship between Florida and South Carolina. Should the Gamecocks win, one more bubble team would lose their spot.

South Carolina: The Florida Gators do EVERY bubble team a great service by knocking off South Carolina and pushing the Cocks to the NIT. If South Carolina had won, they would have taken a spot from a team already on the bubble and likely considered to be "in".

Florida: The Gators survive a late comeback bid from the Gamecocks. Joakim Noah scored the game-winning basket for Florida South Carolina tied the game with just under a minute remaining. This is the second straight SEC Tournament title for Florida and head coach Billy Donovan.

Duke: The Blue Devils defeat Boston College by two points and put an exclamation mark on their regular season ACC championship with yet another ACC Tournament championship. This marks the seventh ACC Tournament title for Duke in the past 8 years.

Northwestern State: The Demons fight off two Sam Houston State comebacks and hold on to defeat the Bearkats and claim the Southland Championship. Northwestern State erases the bad memories of a loss in last season's tournament final to Southeastern Louisiana.

Kansas: The Jayhawks proved themselves to the nation with a Big 12 Tournament title to go along with their share of the Big 12 regular season title. The Jayhawks came from behind in the second half to overtake the Longhorns and deny Texas their first Big 12 Tournament title.

Iowa: The Hawkeyes used a stifling defense to hold Ohio State to just three points in the final 7:15 in the second half en route to winning their second Big Ten Tournament title.
