Tournament Watch

These are my selections for who I think will make the NCAA tournament as of this date. The basic question that I'm answering is, "If everyone keeps playing the same, who will get in?" In other words, I don't predict that teams will get better or worse, but I do look at the remaining schedule to see if someone's results will get better or worse if they keep playing the same. I'll try to update once a week or so.

If a conference name is listed, then only the automatic qualifier will get in. If one team is listed, they'll get an at large bid even if they don't win the conference. In actuality, two to four of these will get knocked out by upsets in the conference tournaments.
