Bubble Watch: where things are with 12 hopes of the NCAA tournament

With the selection Sunday at the corner of the street, the teams will soon learn their fate. Have they built a convincing sufficient file for an offer in general? Will they have to strengthen their curriculum vitae with victories in a conference tournament? Or do they need an automatic offer to qualify for the big dance?

Everything will be decided early.

Before Thursday, Fox Sports Bracket forecaster Mike delean had the state of San Diego, Indiana,, Xavier And North Carolina Like its last four teams to enter the tournament, while Texas,, Ohio StateWake Forest and UC Irvine were the first four teams from Decourcy.

Dayton, Boisse State, Colorado State and George Mason have been listed like the next four teams from Decourcy of the NCAA tournament.

Here’s how things are with these 12 bubble teams from Thursday evening.

Save: 21-9
Conference tournament result: Lost against Boisse State (62-52)

What it means: The state of San Diego is to the mercy of the committee. The Aztecs and the Broncos were fighting each to descend from the bubble and there is probably a place between the two teams. Aztecs must hope that their two regular season victories on the state of Boisse are more precious than the defeat of the Mountain West tournament on Thursday. Aztecs also have more quality victories than Broncos, including a 73-70 victory against Houston n ° 3 on November 30. If the Aztecs had beaten the Broncos, they would probably have won a trip to March Madness, therefore this result makes the decision of the committee difficult.

Save: 19-13
Conference tournament result: Lost against n ° 23 Oregon (72-59)

What it means: Indiana passed it on the selection Sunday. This could go in both directions for the Hoosiers, who could potentially have sewn a place in the tournament with one or two victories in the conference tournament. Instead, they will have to wait to see how a few other bubble teams are worn.

N ° 9 Indiana against n ° 8 Oregon fabrics salient | Big Ten tournament

Save: 21-11
Conference tournament result: Lost against marquet n ° 25 (89-87)

What it means: The musketeers had torn off seven victories before the Big East tournament, but none were quadrical victories. A two -point defeat against a Tournament Caliber team in Marquette should not hurt the musketeers much, but a victory would have stamped their trip to the big dance. Instead, it will be a careful call to the Sean Miller team on the selection on Sunday.

Save: 22-12
Conference tournament results: Beat Notre Dame (76-56) and Wake Forest (68-59); will play No. 1 Duke Friday

What it means: After apparently being outside looking after losing 82-69 against Duke on Saturday, the Tar Heels could have repelled from the bubble with a pair of victories to open the ACC tournament. They have another crack at Blue Devils, who could be without Star Cooper Flagg. This game will probably determine the fate of the UNC NCAA tournament. The North Carolina and Xavier have very similar curriculum vitae, because everyone has only one victory against the opponents of the Quad 1. Consequently, even with a defeat against Duke, the success of the Tar Heels in the ACC tournament could give them a step ahead of the musketeers and other bubble teams that lost at the start of the conference tournament.

Save: 19-14
Conference tournament results: Beat Vanderbilt (79-72) and n ° 14 Texas A&M (94-89, 2ot); will play Tennessee n ° 8 Friday

What it means: Texas won a hard victory over Texas A&M in double extension. The Longhorns record at the conference game was only 6-12, but they impressed by progressing in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament. A victory over volunteers would guarantee that Texas’ invitation to dance, but Longhorns have a strong case even if they lose Friday.

Save: 17-15
Conference tournament result: Lost against Iowa (77-70)

What it means: Buckeyes, who have lost five of their last seven games, have a victory this season on one of their colleagues in bubbles (Texas). Is it, with key victories on Purdue and Kentucky, so that they can sneak in the tournament? Probably not.

Save: 21-11
Conference tournament result: Lost against North Carolina (68-59)

What it means: The deacons of the demon do not have many arguments and their loss in front of her colleague of bubbles in North Carolina does not help. Unless there is a surprise, Wake Forest will find himself on the wrong side of the bubble.

Save: 27-5
Conference tournament result: Play cal poly Friday

What it means: The Antiars have built a robust case for a large -scale offer. Unfortunately for them, their rival Big West, UC San Diego, could have a more convincing. The newts have won the title of regular season league and are the only seeded in the Big West tournament. The Antiers must probably win the tournament and win an automatic offer, which could lead the two teams to make the NCAA tournament.

Save: 22-9
Conference tournament result: Play Saint Joseph Friday

What it means: Finish third in the A-10 puts the flyers in a disadvantage, and in a place where they will probably have to win the conference tournament to make the NCAA tournament. Dayton, however, defeated VCU, the champions of the regular season A-10, on March 7 in the final of the season. If the flyers can reproduce this performance, the A-10 could also be a league for two BIDs.

Save: 23-9
Conference tournament results: Beat the state of San Diego (62-52); will play the New Mexico Friday

What it means: Broncos’ victory over the Aztecs has strongly reinforced its case for a place in the big dance because the two teams are on the bubble. Boisse State had won five of its last six tournaments in the Mountain West tournament. A victory against the champions of the regular season of Mountain West, the New Mexico, would help the Broncos, but if they want to ensure a place in March Madness, they will probably have to win the conference tournament.

Save: 23-9
Conference tournament results: Beat Nevada (67-59); will play at Utah State on Friday

What it means: Winners of their last seven regular season games, RAMs are one of the warmest teams in the country. They got into a hole earlier this season when they lost consecutive matches at the Riverside and Washington UC, and did not have a ton of opportunities to flow because they only played six quad 1 opponents and are 1-5 in these games. The Colorado State, like Boisse State, could have to win the Mountain West tournament to lock up a place in the NCAA tournament, and if these two teams face each other on Saturday, it would make an attractive battle.

Save: 24-7
Conference tournament result: Play George Washington Friday

What it means: The Patriots record may seem impressive, but their curriculum vitae is not. Any discharge in the A-10 tournament will probably eliminate George Mason from the NCAA tournament.
