Last Eight In: California, Iowa State, Purdue, Indiana, Creighton, Michigan State, Temple, Oregon
First Eight Out: Virginia, George Washington, Colorado State, St. John’s, Auburn, Northwestern, Elon, Northern Iowa
There are still 16 automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament up for grabs this weekend. Not many have potential bid stealing implications, but a couple to watch out for are the CAA and the MVC. James Madison faces Elon in the CAA final on Saturday night. The loser of that game is most likely out of the NCAA picture, but should get some bubble consideration. In the Missouri Valley, Drake is in the NCAA Tournament no matter what and, if they lose, the bubble shrinks. Northern Iowa, with a win over Evansville on Saturday and a loss in the final on Sunday would deserve some consideration as well. But if your team is on the bubble, cheer for Drake to take care of business against Wichita State on Saturday and UNI or Evansville in the final on Sunday.
