March to Madness: NCAA Basketball Bubble Watch, March 8th

This has been some week for TCU, filled with negativity, controversy, and sadness starting with the above performance. But losing to the Big 12-leading Wildcats did not eliminate the Frogs from the 2019 NCAA Tournament – it’s another gut punch, but we’re still standing. The path is getting increasingly more difficult, though. If the Big 12 is only getting 7 teams into the Dance, it is now between Texas and TCU for the final spot, so Saturday’s showdown in Austin stands as a near elimination game. A win puts the Frogs back in a solid Bubble spot, where a win in the conference tourney would give a bit of confidence on Selection Sunday and two wins in Kansas City would lock in a bid.
