Well now that the calendar has turned to March it means that things ae getting interesting in college basketball.
Many of the smaller conferences are playing their conference tournaments this weekend, which means we will soon know who some of the first entrants into the field of 65 will be.
In addition, the major conferences are wrapping up their regular seasons and preparing for their conference tournaments next week. That means the opportunities to impress the Selection Committee are becoming scarce for those teams on the dreaded bubble.
Here are a few of the games to watch this weekend for bubble implications. The teams in bold are who I will be rooting for to help Virginia Tech make the NCAA Tournament, though some of these games are between two bubble teams:
UAB @ Memphis: Today @ 1:00
Baylor @ Texas Tech: Today @ 1:30
Stanford @ USC: Today @ 2:00
Kansas @ Texas A&M: Today @ 4:00
Marquette @ Syracuse: Today @ 4:00
Villanova @ Providence: Today @ 7:30
Arizona @ Oregon: Today @ 10:30
Florida @ Kentucky: Sunday @ 12:00
Michigan State @ Ohio State: Sunday @ 12:30
Maryland @ Virginia: Sunday @7:30
AND THE BIG ONE:
Virginia Tech @ Clemson: Sunday @ 1:30
Pop!
That's the sound of Virginia Tech headed to the NIT unless they can reach the Finals of the ACC Tournament.
Still, an NIT bid is a lot better than I expected VT to do this year. With six returning freshmen and their only leaving starter being Deron Washington, this is a team to watch out for next year.
