Bracketology Implications

The Conference-USA Tournament will be one of the more interesting when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament. With a few notable results that happened at the end of the regular season, it appears that whoever wins the C-USA Tournament will be the one team from the conference that makes the NCAA Tournament.

Now obviously whoever wins the C-USA Tournament gets the automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament, but who will it be? There are arguably 5-6 teams that could realistically get that bid however, that’s what makes this tournament must-see.

There is one team however that could have a very small chance to make the NCAA Tournament depending on how they play, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. The Hilltoppers are not currently listed on the Bubble, but they display a few impressive wins and with a few wins here, anything can happen. It is March right?

Plain and simple, whichever team wins this tournament will make the NCAA Tournament. Many teams are capable of doing it, but who will actually do it?
