These are some teams to pay attention to as the Tigers fight to earn a bid to the big dance. Go Tigers beat NC State
Majors: Alabama - need to go on a run in the SEC tournament Clemson - have to beat NCST Florida - need to beat Arkansas round 1 in SEC Tourny to guarantee spot Indiana - opposite of OSU. Playing themselves into tourny. Will have to beat OSU and probably pick up another win to make dance NCST - have to beat Clemson Ohio State - playing themselves out of tournament. Lost last 3. Play Indiana round 1 of B10 tourny. Win probably gets them in TCU - Big win for TCU over Texas this weekend. Play OK St in Big 12 Tourny and will need a win or 2 to lock in spot Texas - Struggled as of late. Probably need to beat Kansas round 1 in Big 12 Tourny as itll be tough to imagine a team with 16-16 record making the dance
Mid: Creighton - Need help + a deep run in conf. tournament Seton Hall - huge back to back wins vs Marq and Nova heading into conf. tourny. As long as they don't get bounced early they should make the field St Johnnys - conf. tournament is important. They have a good shot at making field with a few wins Temple - will make tournament with another win in AAC tourny Xavier - Need help + a deep run in conf. tournament
Others: Belmont - lost to Murray State in Ohio Valley Conference so missed out on auto bid. They are at the mercy of remaining bubble teams Saint Marys - Prob need to win West Coast Conf. tourny UNC Greensboro - play Wofford today in Southern Conference championship. If they win they're in. Clemson fans are Wofford fans today Lipscombs - lost to Liberty in conf. final. At the mercy of remaining bubble teams (prob out.) Utah State - should make tournament unless they choke in MW tourny
