College -Basketball -Bubble Watch, Bracketology: Which teams are you sweating with the selection on Sunday?

We are only one day from the selection on Sunday.

Saturday is full of conference tournament and final, as the last automatic commandments for the men's NCAA tournament are completed at the weekend. Since most Bubble teams have already left their respective conference tournaments, it will wait a lot and hope in the next two days before the selection show on Sunday.

Here is our last look at the bladder before the 68-team clip is unveiled.

North Carolina (22-13): The Tar Heels were a violation of the lane to tie the game and to take the Duke overtime in the Acc tournament on Friday evening. UNC exceeded the Blue Devils in the second half of 18 after they were 21 years old at half time at 9 p.m., but it wasn't enough in 74-71 loss.

If Cooper Flagg and Maliq Brown played for the Blue Devils, they could do the case that the game is sufficient for North Carolina to make the NCAA tournament field safe. Instead, both players sat with injuries and it was still not enough for North Carolina to win.

UNC ranks 33 in Kenpoms metrics and is 36. In the net ranking with only 1-12 record in Quad-1 games.

Texas (19-15): The Longhorns are three places behind the Tar Heels in the net ranking and 10 places in Kenpoms data after they lost to Tennessee on Friday in the quarter -finals of the Secen Tene. Texas is much better than North Carolina in Quad-1 game 7-10, but only 3-5 in quad 2 games. A victory against Texas A&M on Thursday should have been enough for the Longhorns to get to the tournament, but you cannot feel quite sure until you see your name on a seed line on the selection Sunday. And when Texas is in there, there is a chance that the Longhorns will take to Dayton on Tuesday or Wednesday for a first four game.

Either Boise State (24-9) or Colorado State (24-9) The automatic command of the mountain decest on Saturday will be preserved. But the loser should also be in the field.

The Broncos defeated 72: 69 on Friday with 72-69 New Mexico, while the US state of Colorado defeated No. 3 seed 83-72 in the other semi-finals. Boise State entered the MWC tournament as No. 5 seeds and has drawn two disorders to get to the title game.

We mentioned the Aztecs in the Bubble Watch on Friday. They are still on the periphery of the tournament picture, since the MWC could be a four-bid league with SDSU and the Lobos, which are also in the big dance.

West Virginia (19-13): The climbers feel somewhat unreal this weekend after a one-and-done performance in the Big 12 tournament. West Virginia got the seed No. 8 in the Big 12 after winning three of his last four regular season games, but lost to the Cellar dweller Colorado in his first Big 12 tournament game.

The mountaineers also rank far behind North Carolina and Texas on the net and in Kenpom ranking lists. The WVU is number 53 in Kenpom's data, even though it has number 14 and is number 51 in the net ranking with a 6: 9 record in Quad 1 games.

Xavier (21-11): The musketers had played in the tournament with the way they performed the route. Xavier completed the regular season with a winning streak with seven games, although it is worth mentioning that six of these seven victories against teams in the lower four in the big east came.

Xavier is number 42 in Kenpom's ranking and in the net ranking no. 45 with a 1: 9 record in Quad-1 games, which is supported by an 8: 2 mark in Quad 2 games.
