February is here, and the as the season hits the home stretch there are still many NCAA tournament spots up for grabs. In the most recent week’s NCAA tournament bubble teams have been struggling for wins. The lack of key wins by many of the bubble teams, makes this year’s bubble large and many of the teams are still looking for that win to separate them from the rest of the pack.
Many major conferences like the Big Ten and Big 12 have bubble teams everywhere. The strength of these leagues from top to bottom is going to make each teams NCAA tournament metrics look better to the committee. The conferences are ripe with Quadrant 1 opportunities. These teams also have the luxury of not taking a bad loss within the conference. This will help the resumes within the long run.
This edition of the Buy, Sell or Hold is going to look at 5 teams firmly on the bubble. These teams have played their way onto the bubble. Some of them were teams who looked like locks in the Non-conference portion of the season. Others were ones with no expectations who have won enough games to get themselves into consideration for an at large bid. With 9 games left to play plus conference tournaments.
These teams on the bubble can still play their way into the NCAA tournament. Each team has flaws and a few of these teams are so far away from the teams they were early in the season. Can these teams rise and make the NCAA tournament?
