The bubble shrunk late last night when Saint Mary's stole a bid by knocking off Gonzaga in the WCC championship. If you're a fan of a team with a tenuous claim to an at-large bid, things aren't looking great for you right now.

Clemson v. NC State, 12pm, ESPN

Whoever loses this one is out. NC State played one of the worst nonconference schedules you'll ever see, racking up 7 wins against teams in the bottom 40 of the KenPom. Clemson has just one Q1 win compared to NC State's 2, but NC State also has 2 Q3 losses.
