With Selection Sunday just days away, USA TODAY Sports tracks which teams hurt or boosted their NCAA tournament profiles in league tourneys.
CLOSE SportsPulse: Selection Sunday is just days away. USA TODAY's Scott Gleeson tells you the teams that still have work to do this championship weekend. USA TODAY
Minnesota: The Gophers were inching near the "last four in" at the start of the Big Ten tournament but have capitalized on their opportunities, first getting past a dangerous Penn State team in overtime in the Big Ten tourney's second round and then upsetting Purdue in the quarterfinals on Friday. Those are two Quad 1 victories and the Purdue win should move Minnesota comfortably away from bubble chaos. Consider them a lock for the NCAAs.
Temple: The Owls were upset by Wichita State in the AAC tournament quarterfinals, and now it gets interesting as they've fallen to one of the "last four out" range and are in danger of missing the field. Temple's only got two Quad 1 wins and could've really used another one to help offset a non-conference strength of schedule in the 200s and a NET score in the 50s. ► Updated Friday night.
TCU: Although the Horned Frogs got past Oklahoma State on Wednesday, they came up short in a 70-61 loss to Kansas State the next day of the Big 12 tournament and removed the chance to enhance their profile. A top-30 strength of schedule plays in their favor, but playing in the Big 12 -- the country's best NET conference -- should equate to more than three Quad 1 wins. ► Updated Thursday
Indiana: The Hoosiers will challenge the committee, because after Thursday's Big Ten tournament loss to Ohio State, this team now has 15 losses. How could a 15-loss team make the NCAAs? By winning six Quadrant 1 games. Coach Archie Miller summed up his team's case: "I think the one thing in this stage when you're comparing everybody — can you beat a team in the tournament? When you're able to beat a Marquette or Louisville, you're able to get a Michigan State twice.
Texas: The Longhorns concluded the Big 12 tournament with a 65-57 quarterfinal loss to Kansas. They now have a whopping 16 losses and are done playing. Still helping their profile is a top-40 NET score that's far better than an RPI in the 60s. ► Updated ThursdayNEWSLETTERSThank you!
