Let the madness begin! The first Bauer’s Bubble Watch of March 2024 is here, and so is the college basketball postseason, as the ASUN tournament began its march to the madness on Monday night. Though I don’t track eliminations here on BBW, we can firmly cross two teams off the tournament-hopeful list with both KennesawContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 3/5/24”

Bauertology: 3/4/24
Creating the bracket can be a real pain in the rear sometimes. I touched on some of the bracketing principles that the committee must follow when building the bracket in my last Bauertology update, and since I’ve got nothing better to talk about this time around, let’s continue! We start with the greatest headache ofContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/4/24”
Bauertology: 3/1/24
Well, hello, March. Funny seeing you here. The calendar has now crossed over to the single greatest month of the year, where the unordinary becomes ordinary, drama and excitement are abound, and the anticipation for every waking moment is so thick that you can cut it with a knife. It’s finally the most thrilling timeContinue reading “Bauertology: 3/1/24”
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/27/24
Do you feel that? That’s the anticipation beginning to settle in. That calendar might make your eyes do a double-take, and not just because it’s Leap Year. (Don’t forget about that on Thursday, by the way). No, it’s because conference tournament play is now officially less than a week away. Crazy, right? But it’s true—theContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/27/24”
Bauertology: 2/26/24
I usually write a whole bunch of stuff up in this section as a sort of preview to the new bracket and seed list below, but today’s write-up is surprisingly brief. Why? Because there isn’t that much changing anymore. Yep, we’ve finally hit that time in the season where sweeping changes are few and farContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/26/24”
Bauertology: 2/23/24
Today’s Bauertology post perhaps goes beyond the realm of typical analysis and goes a bit more into public service announcement territory, since I think it’s worth addressing some of the recent developments in bracketology circles over the past week. There’s been some pretty nasty discourse lately between bracketologists and fans of teams not happy withContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/23/24”
Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/20/24
Hello, friends. Welcome back to Bauer’s Bubble Watch. (Aaaaahhh, it feels so good to say that again!) Yes, the long wait is over. Football season is now a relic of the distant past, and the greater collective sports focus has turned its attention to the hardwood, just in time for the homestretch of college basketballContinue reading “Bauer’s Bubble Watch: 2/20/24”
Bauertology: 2/19/24
Well, that weekend was something, huh? I’m not speaking about the always relentless Saturday schedule that seems to deliver every single weekend (though that was great, too). Of course, I’m talking about the selection committee’s top 16 preview that we bracketologists covet so much. And, as per usual, the preview show seemed to raise justContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/19/24”
Bauertology: 2/17/24
Well, the new Bauertology schedule is off to a swimming start. You may recall in the most recent Bauertology bracket from Monday that I stated I would be posting new Bauer’s Bubble Watch articles every Wednesday, starting this week, and new Bauertology brackets every Friday. Neither of those things happened. Part of it is meContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/17/24”
Bauertology: 2/12/24
Saturday can’t come soon enough. And not just because Saturdays are the marquee day of the week when it comes to relentless slates of all-out college hoop-dom. (Though, that too). Astute observers of the calendar may realize that this coming Saturday is the first Saturday after the Super Bowl, and that means that the selectionContinue reading “Bauertology: 2/12/24”
