2021 Bubble Crashers, March 13th 2021
Memphis: Memphis has quietly played a good season, but the lack of quality opponents in the American conference this season hasn't allowed it to build a resume. The Tigers have a game against Houston left, but winning the conference tournament might be the only way for them to get in.
Oregon State: The PAC-12 has been really funky, and Oregon State in the finals is as weird as it gets. It would have to take down a strong Colorado team, but beating Oregon showed it can do it.
Georgetown: Somehow, this 8 seed made it to the conference final. A win over Creighton would be the toughest task for them yet in this run, but it's 100% possible.
Cincinnati: Wichita State struggled against USF, and Cincinnati has been playing much better as of late. It might be tough to win two more, bu the Bearcats are in position.
