There's already a good baker's dozen teams that have played well enough to be considered for NCAA berths, but there just aren't enough slots: Vermont, Appalachian State, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Oakland, College of Charleston, Stephen F. Austin, Stony Brook, Western Carolina, Morgan State, North Texas, Eastern Kentucky, Quinnipiac and Robert Morris.
Heading into the final week, all sorts of madness can happen, with some big teams firmly on the bubble, particularly Georgetown, Marquette and Georgia Tech. Louisville, Dayton, Washington, Wake Forest, Illinois, Mississippi, Notre Dame and Miami could also sneak in, but it'll be tough.
