Keep in mind that many of the teams in the at-large bids section will win their league’s auto-bid—we aren’t going to have 15 bid thieves this week!—and there’ll be far more at-large bids available once the major conference champions start cutting down nets. The biggest thing to watch Wednesday and Thursday night will be which of these bubble teams take a disastrous first-game loss in their conference tourneys, which will likely wipe them off the bubble just like that now that we’re so deep into the year and so close to Selection Sunday.
