Editor's note: The NCAA tournament Bubble Watch has been updated through games played Thursday, March 14.
Thursday dawned with cheery can-do talk from Bubble Watch about how surely all of this upcoming basketball would bring some much-needed clarity to the bubble picture.

Fine, not every bubble team lost. But let's quickly run down the results.

Five of the teams didn't play
Seven of them lost
Four won
