The NCAA tournament selection committee is closely monitoring the bubble teams as the regular season winds down. One of the biggest questions is which teams will get in and which teams will be left out of the tournament. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the latest Bracketology Bubble Watch.
North Carolina is the biggest winner this week, as the Tar Heels picked up their first Quad 1 win of the season. This win was huge for the Tar Heels, as it gives them a much needed boost in the eyes of the selection committee. North Carolina is now firmly on the bubble and should be in good shape to make the tournament.
On the other side of the bubble, Michigan and Wisconsin are two teams that are still on the outside looking in. Both teams have had up-and-down seasons, but they both have a chance to make a statement this week with a big game against each other. If either team can win this game, it could be the difference between making the tournament and being left out.
At this point, the bubble teams are in a precarious position. Every game counts, and every win could make or break a team’s chances of making the tournament. With only a few weeks left in the regular season, the bubble teams have to make their moves now if they want to have a chance of making the NCAA tournament.
