Every bubble team in D1 is rooting for Wofford just as hard as the Terriers fans are.

Go Wofford. 29-4 if they take care of business.

I'd actually like to see them lose so it guarantees a 2 bid league. And this is coming from someone who's team is on the bubble.

Are we certain Wofford would get an at-large? If they go one-and-done in the SoCon it could screw them royally.

Yes they are a lock. They are currently 16 in NET. There's never been a team in the top 20 of RPI be left out. If they use NET the same way, they'll be in. Plus a team like Furman is squarely on the bubble. Wofford dwarfs them in terms of resume.

Odd to say but yes Wofford should be a lock

This conference really deserves to have more bids than the Pac-12 at least

Wouldn’t mind seeing Furman get a crack.

So Con Quarters get going today. If the top 4 advance should set up a heck of a semis.

I would HOPE that Wofford, at 29-4, would be an at-large. But I think that is a very slim chance seeing as the committee doesn't like at-large bids from non power conferences. Wofford just needs to do what it's done all season long. Beat their conference foes. What sucks is I could see Wofford and UNC Greensboro in the tournament even if Wofford wins the tourney. UNC Greensboro, Furman, East Tennessee and Wofford have ALL had great seasons. Looks good for that conference to have so many single digit loss teams.

Wofford is a lock. They can lose by 100 today and it won't matter.

I would like to think so. Looking at the latest bracketology, if there is a 2nd SoCon team in, who gets pushed out? NC State, Bama, Clemson or Temple? I would say Temple or whoever loses between NC State and Clemson.

Bama isn't making it without a run in the SEC Tournament. I personally think the loser of Clemson/NC State won't make it, and Ohio State certainly isn't safe either. Temple is in pretty good shape right now IMO.

I agree on everything aside from Temple. I don't think the AAC gets 4 teams in the tournament. In my thinking, UCF, Cincy and Houston are locks. Even with a win over Houston and a win over UCF, I don't think Temple gets in without at least making it to the finals of the tournament. If that happens, Temple would HAVE to beat either Houston/UCF again or Cincy and at that point, Temple would be very hard to deny entry into the big dance.

Temple is pretty safely in, getting one win against whoever it is, in the AAC Tournament, probably even keeps them out of Dayton.
