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

With the selection of Sunday just at the corner of the street, the teams will soon learn their fate of the NCAA tournament. 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 Friday, Fox Sports Bracket forecaster Mike delean had the state of San Diego, Indiana,, North Carolina And Texas Like its last four teams to enter the tournament, while Xavier,, Ohio StateBoisse State and UC Irvine were the first four teams from Decourcy. Dayton, Colorado State, George Mason and San Francisco have been listed like the next four Decourcy teams of the NCAA tournament.

Here’s how things stand with these 12 bubble teams on Friday 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: 22-13
Conference tournament results: Beat Notre Dame (76-56) and Wake Forest (68-59)); Lost against No. 1 Duke (74-71)

What it means: UNC had the chance to strengthen its curriculum vitae from the NCAA tournament against a Duke team which was without Star Cooper Flagg. The Tar Heels, however, could not make the most of the Blue Devils in their third crack this season. Although a Friday victory would not have guaranteed a trip to the big dance, he would have sent UNC for the ACC tournament with a chance to win an automatic offer. Instead, the Tar Heels will have to hope that their victories on Wake Forest and Notre Dame earlier this week will be sufficient to win a general offer.

Save: 19-15
Conference tournament results: Beat Vanderbilt (79-72) and n ° 14 Texas A&M (94-89, 2ot)); Lost against n ° 8 Tennessee (83-72))

What it means: Texas helped its NCAA tournament case with hard victories disputed against Vanderbilt and Texas A&M in the dry tournament. However, Longhorns tripped against Tennessee on Friday and will now have to count on the committee to reward them with a general offer. Their deep race in the dry tournament could give them the head of the other bubble teams at their conference which did not behave well last week, like Oklahoma, Georgia and Vanderbilt.

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: 28-5
Conference tournament result: Beat Cal poly (96-78))

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 two teams will meet in the Big West championship match on Saturday evening with an automatic offer at Big Dance in play.

Save: 22-9
Conference tournament result: Lost against Saint Joseph (73-68))

What it means: Dayton hopes for an NCAA tournament offer probably ended Friday after a defeat of 73-68 against Saint Joseph in a quarter-final A-10 match. The flyers finished third in a conference in the middle of the major behind VCU and George Mason.

Save: 24-9
Conference tournament results: Beat the state of San Diego (62-52)); Beat New Mexico (72-69)

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. The victory against the champions of the regular season of Mountain West, the new-mexic, should help the Broncos, but if they want to ensure a place in March Madness, they will probably have to win the conference tournament.

Save: 24-9
Conference tournament results: Beat Nevada (67-59)); Beat Utah state (83-72))

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 will face Boisse State during the Mountain West championship match on Saturday for a place in the NCAA tournament.

Save: 25-7
Conference tournament result: Beat George Washington (80-65))

What it means: The Patriots record may seem impressive, but their curriculum vitae is not. Any discharge in the A-10 tournament will probably put them out of disappearance for the NCAA tournament. They kept their hopes alive with a dominant performance against George Washington and will have to continue to achieve victories to win a self-offering.

Save: 24-9
Conference tournament result: Lost against Gonzaga (85-76))

What it means: The donations fell in Gonzaga in the semi-finals of the Coe last weekend and finished the conference with a brand of 13-5. They have victories on Boisse State and Saint Mary’s, but their defeat against the Bulldogs in the conference tournament marked their third defeat against them this season.
