Things have gotten dicey in a hurry for Nevada, which took two Quad 3 losses last week to wrap up the regular season, falling perilously close to the cut line. The Pack desperately need to beat San Jose State in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West tournament to avoid falling out of the field, and regardless would be wise to root against any potential bid thieves.
I’m not convinced North Carolina is quite auto-bid-or-bust, but the Heels need to make a deep run in the ACC tournament to have any real hope of getting in. That journey starts by beating Boston College on Wednesday, then getting a second victory against Virginia this season Thursday. Do that, and the Heels at least enter the conversation going into the semifinal Friday.
