Bubble Watch: Where things stand with 12 NCAA Tournament hopefuls

File: 21-11
Convention Event end result: Misplaced to No. 25 Marquette (89-87)

What it means: The Musketeers had ripped off seven wins heading into the Massive East Event, albeit none of them have been Quad 1 victories. A two-point loss to a tournament-caliber group in Marquette should not harm the Musketeers a lot, however a win would have stamped their journey to the Massive Dance. As an alternative, will probably be an in depth name for Sean Miller’s group on Choice Sunday.

File: 22-13
Convention Event outcomes: Beat Notre Dame (76-56) and Wake Forest (68-59); Misplaced to No. 1 Duke (74-71)

What it means: UNC had an opportunity to strengthen its NCAA Event résumé towards a Duke group that was with out star Cooper Flagg. The Tar Heels, although, could not get the most effective of the Blue Devils of their third crack at them this season. Whereas a win on Friday would not have assured a visit to the Massive Dance, it might have despatched UNC to the ACC Event title with an opportunity to earn an automated bid. As an alternative, the Tar Heels should hope their wins over Wake Forest and Notre Dame earlier this week will likely be sufficient to earn an at-large bid.
