Top 25 This Week Basketball
FILE - Fairfield coach Carly Thibault, center, speaks with her team during a timeout in an NCAA college basketball game, Feb. 8, 2024, in Fairfield, Conn. No. 25 Fairfield earned its first-ever ranking last week and became the eighth team to run through conference play undefeated. The Stags have a 26-game winning streak and their lone loss came to Vanderbilt, which is on the NCAA bubble. If Fairfield makes it to the final of the tournament on Saturday, March 16, 2024, and loses they might still have a shot to get an at-large bid. (Cloe Poisson/Hartford Courant via AP, File)

With most of the major conference tournaments finished, there are some anxious teams waiting to see if their names will be called for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday when the field is announced.

The selection committee has a tough job in determining those final few teams that have a slim margin separating them. Many of the bubble teams that include Vanderbilt, Arizona, Mississippi State, Penn State and Washington State will be paying close attention mid-major tournaments that could snatch those precious bids.

They received some help Monday night with Georgetown falling to UConn in the Big East final. The Hoyas had a remarkable run to the championship game, but never really challenged the No. 10 Huskies, who won their 22nd Big East Tournament title.
