Harvard, Florida A&M, Southern and Army punched their tickets to the NCAA Tournament over the weekend. The rest of the conference tournaments open up this weekend and there will be plenty of excitement as team’s attempt to secure an automatic bid. However, there is also plenty to play for on the bubble. The bubble appears quite large with just a week left to go before the selection show, so there will likely be an opportunity for quite a few teams to play their way into the field with a good showing. Of course, leaving the decision out of the hands of the selection committee is always a better idea.
