2011 NCAA Tournament Projections

Some of the bubble teams got a chance to prove their worth today. Colorado beat a hot Kansas St. team to propel them into the First Four knocking Alabama out for the time being. The Crimson Tide will have the opportunity to play their way back in, as we essentially have 2 play-in games tomorrow. Alabama gets Georgia and Boston College won today set up a date with Clemson. The winner of these two games will look much better come Sunday, and the losers could find themselves on the outside looking in.
