So here’s some good news: the Bracket Matrix still has Xavier in the tournament. It’s by the skin of their teeth - Xavier holds the next to last at-large bid at this point, according to the wisdom of the masses - but in is better than out.
That’s pretty much where the good news ends. With an entire work week between us and Selection Sunday, the Muskies will not stay there. There’s just too much that can happen to change the team’s position on the bubble to feel at all good about being “in” with six days until the Selection Show.
