This weekend proved once again just how wide open this season has been and will likely continue to be as we head towards March. On Saturday alone second ranked West Virginia and fourth ranked Michigan State lost. There were some other very close calls too. The bubble should be interesting as well. There are a handful of teams that will have to work hard to get to the NCAA Tournament, but will be dangerous once they get there. This will be a wide open tournament.
