The last batch of men's conference tournaments get underway this week, which means teams right on the bubble are running out of time to prove they belong in the NCAA tournament.
North Carolina head coach Hubert Davis looks on during an NCAA college basketball game against Duke on Saturday, March 4, 2023, in Chapel Hill, N.C. The last batch of men’s conference tournaments get underway this week, which means teams right on the bubble are running out of time to prove they belong in the NCAA tournament.North Carolina: Tar Heels desperately need a run
They fell to Duke 62-57 to close out the regular season on Saturday night, too, which gave the Blue Devils the double-bye in the ACC tournament. North Carolina will open the tournament on Wednesday against either Boston College or Louisville. Oklahoma State looked like it was right in the mix for an at-large bid, too, but the Cowboys dropped five of their last six to end the regular season. They’ll need at least one win in the conference tournament, if not several, to avoid an NIT appearance.
Cambridge stunned No. 7 Arizona last month with a wild half-court buzzer beater to pick up their 20th, and by far the biggest, win of the season. Unfortunately for the Sun Devils, they backed that up with losses to UCLA and USC to end the season — which kept them right outside of the NCAA tournament field on the bubble.
