Yesterday was a great day of college basketball with classic games in the SEC and ACC. I hope everyone caught the triple overtime thriller in the WAC.
It was a bad day for bubble teams as Temple stole a bid with their win in the A-10.
With just a few games to go, here is a look at the field.
What follows is an early look at which teams will be in this year's field. The selections are based on record, RPI, opponents, and record versus top competition.
Conference winners are based on current standings. At-large teams appear in BOLD. Teams that have already qualified will have an asterisk (*) next to their name.
