Led by senior forward Tyson Degenhart, Boise State has quietly been one of the nation's hottest teams since falling narrowly to Colorado State on Jan. 22.

Since then, the Broncos have won nine of their last 10, boasting Quad 1 victories over Nevada with key Quad 2 wins against New Mexico and Utah State.

Aside from their current five-game win streak, their tournament pedigree resume includes early-season Quad 1 wins over Clemson and St. Mary's, which may be the difference between the committee selecting Boise State versus other bubble teams.

Last Team Out: Oklahoma

Oklahoma began the season looking like one of the nation's best, amid a 13-0 start, with Quad 1 wins over Arizona, Louisville, and Michigan.

Then conference play began.

The Sooners have lost 10 of their last 12 Quad 1 matchups and are third-worst in the SEC (4-12), surrendering their most points per game (74.3) since 2017-18.

Yes, their conference record may be a testament to how dominant the SEC has performed this year.

However, it will likely take a win over No. 15 Missouri on Wednesday and a bit of a run in next week's conference tournament to keep their March Madness hopes alive.
