With only a week to go before Selection Sunday, bubble teams across the nation are getting nervous. Many fans hope that a strong record in a highly rated conference is enough to get them in. But with unbalanced conference schedules, that argument is illogical. Try it yourself by picking five teams from 10 blind profiles.

No. 3 Portland and No. 4 Santa Clara handle their business in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals against No. 2 St. Mary’s and No. 1 Gonzaga, respectively.

No. 1 Binghamton picked up its ninth consecutive win by beating No. 9 Hartford 73-65 to move into the semifinals. The Bearcats became the first favorite to win in the quarterfinals after No. 6 UMBC and No. 7 Albany pulled off upsets earlier in the day. In the nightcap, No. 4 New Hampshire beat No. 5 Stony Brook 76-73.

No. 2 East Tennessee State led by as much as 30 in the second half and cruised to an easy 85-58 victory against No. 1 Jacksonville in the Atlantic Sun championship game.

No. 6 Montana State used a 12-2 run in the second half to take the lead from No. 3 Montana, and the Bobcats held on for a 56-54 victory. No. 4 Idaho State advances to the semifinals to play No. 2 Portland State by beating No. 5 Northern Colorado 67-60.

The Highlanders dominated inside, out-rebounding No. VMI 56-24. Junior center Artsiom Parakhouski was unstoppable for Radford, which beat the Keydets 108-94, with 26 points, 18 rebounds and three blocks.

No. 1 VCU and No. 2 George Mason proved that the first team to reach 60 points wins. No. 4 Old Dominion snuck past No. 5 Hofstra 52-51. And No. 11 Towson continues to work its magic, beating No. 3 Northeastern 58-54 for a second consecutive upset.

Junior forward Mike Evanovich led No. 5 Fairfield with 18 points and four rebounds, and senior guard Herbie Allen added 17 points to guide the Stags past No. 4 Manhattan 68-61. Meanwhile, No. 1 Siena bum-rushed No. 9 Canisius 77-52 with a balanced attack on offense and defense. No. 2 Niagara blasted No. 10 Marist 79-50 by working harder on the glass, collecting 47 rebounds to the Red Foxes’ 30. And junior guard Ryan Thompson had a season-high 30 points to lead No. 3 Rider to a 67-58 win against No. 6 St. Peter’s.

No. 3 Illinois State whips No. 2 Creighton, which now must hope that a 25-7 record is good enough to earn the Missouri Valley’s second-best team in the regular season an NCAA Tournament bid. Top-seeded Northern Iowa pulled away in the second half for a 76-62 win against No. 4 Bradley.

As usual, junior guard Stephen Curry dominated a Southern Conference opponent, posting 43 points against No. 4N Appalachian State in No. 1S Davidson’s 84-68 win. Meanwhile, No. 3S College of Charleston and No. 1N Chattanooga also advance. And No. 3N Samford pulled off a mild upset of No. 2S the Citadel, winning 77-67 in the battle of the Bulldogs.
