March Madness heats up as several teams have the chance to play their way into or out of the field of 68.
On paper, you could make a case for including or leaving out the Badgers. The exclusion option looks more appealing after Wednesday. Whether Wisconsin gets in will go a long way in determining this committee’s priorities. Is Quadrant 1 performance going to overrule everything? Or will more or less laying an egg with the season plausibly on the line influence things?
The Big 12’s true bid thieves were cleared out on the first night of the tournament. West Virginia ranks in the top 35 of all six metrics on the NCAA team sheet and should be good to go. That leaves Oklahoma State as the one unsettled variable in the league. However, the Cowboys won’t require an automatic bid to get in — and it’s possible they’ve already done enough.Rutgers has stumbled down the stretch with six losses in eight games since forward Mawot Mag was lost to injury.
Clemson’s nonconference schedule and multiple Quadrant 4 losses give it the sort of bad distinguishing characteristics that do not play well for the last few spots in the field. The only thing the Tigers can do is to try to get on a roll in Greensboro, starting with a game against an N.C. State team it swept this season.The Tigers maintain some at-large hope with a win. N.C. State should be good to go after pouncing on Virginia Tech on Wednesday.
