Picks: NCAA Tournament Bubble Teams Take Center Stage This Weekend

This is the final weekend of the regular season for the country’s smaller conferences, as well as the Big Ten, which will play its tournament one week earlier than usual. Teams in the major conferences have no more than three games left in the regular season, which puts the focus of the weekend squarely on bubble teams. Bubblers such as Syracuse, Louisville and Baylor all have real resumé-building opportunities, while those like UCLA, USC, Marquette and LSU need to hold serve against teams that likely aren’t part of the at-large picture. The bubble is likely the home of this weekend’s best action.
