Which teams do the cut?

A look at the NCAA tournament bubble image.

Aries on a role

Colorado State's winning streak is 10, and the RAMs are won for the NCAA tournament on the way to the automatic commandment of Mountain West with a win over Boise State on Saturday. Since the state of Colorado was considered quite unlikely, this means that the Rams now take a different place from another bladder team.

This team could be Boise State, which was on the field according to some projections. One of the big questions about the selection Sunday is whether the mountain vests receive five or four bids – or maybe even three.

Closer call

No. 16 Memphis recorded a one-point victory against Tulane in the AAC tournament, and VCU dipped in the Atlantic 10 by defeating Loyola. If one of these teams loses, he will enter the attack, which would be bad news for the rest of the bladder.

UC San Diego a further potential candidate for the long candidate gait of the bladder a little reparation by winning the automatic offer in Big West.

The experts say …

  • ESPN's last four in: Vanderbilt, State of San Diego, Xavier, Indiana.
  • Sports Illustrateds last four in: Arkansas, state of San Diego, Indiana, Boise.
  • ESPN's first four out: Boise State, North Carolina, Texas, State of Ohio.
  • The first four outs of Sports Illustrated: Texas, North Carolina, Xavier, UC Irvine.
