Can't believe I am making this, but here we are.

After the Bubble was decimated the last few days, let's share the news and around from what we hear regarding the Bubble and OU's chances.

I think 2-1 in the SEC Tourney is in the conversation, 3-1 and we have a chance.

MarchMetrix - NCAA Tournament Resume Tracker - Has us with a 22.9% chance of making the tournament

SI - Men's Basketball State of the Bubble:
"Oklahoma Sooners
It took overtime after fouling a three-point shooter up 3 at the end of regulation on the road at Texas on Saturday night, but the Sooners snagged a massive Q1 victory to continue the late-season charge for a tournament bid. Oklahoma has now won six of its last eight games, and now has five Quad 1 wins and four Quad 2 wins. There are worse bubble résumés than this one. A handful of SEC tournament wins could have Porter Moser and the Sooners unexpectedly dancing. "


Frogs O War: Bubble Watch
"IMPACT GAME OF THE WEEK:

#57 Oklahoma Sooners (↑5) defeats #59 Missouri Tigers (↓6) - OU is on a three game winning streak, winning five of its last seven and adding major meat to a resume that was barren before February. The 16-point home dismantling of the Tigers has further breathed new life into the Sooners, even if a continued pursuit of an at-large bid remains highly unlikely. For Mizzou, this puts the Tigers into conversation for Dayton as a play-in candidate before closing the season with a challenge against John Calipari’s Arkansas coming to town. A win in that one and Missouri is likely a lock, but a loss could put the Tigers near the cut line as its resume metrics are not outstanding."

"Oklahoma Sooners
Updated: March 8, 9:26 a.m.

The Sooners are a last-minute Bubble Watch entry after knocking off Texas on the road Saturday in overtime. It was the fourth consecutive victory for Porter Moser's squad -- sixth in eight, a stretch that includes four of this season's five Quadrant 1 wins. The forecast models are dubious OU can make a real case for an at large (the consensus odds sit at just 12%), but given the chaos around the SEC bubble, and the fact that the conference projects to send 11 teams according to Bracketology, this team is suddenly on the radar.

Next game: SEC tournament first round vs. South Carolina (Wednesday)"

2 more wins I think we get in, considering other teams ahead of us will certainly fall flat.
