Bubble Watch: Games That Affect Indiana's NCAA Tournament Chances

Being on the bubble means Indiana doesn't entirely control its own destiny to the NCAA Tournament, unless it were to make a deep run in the Big Ten Tournament.

More likely than not, there will be some level of uncertainty on Selection Sunday as to whether or not the Hoosiers will be dancing. Part of that depends on what happens to other bubble teams and the amount of bid stealers from mid-major conferences.

As of Friday afternoon, Indiana is one of the last four teams in, according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi, along with Santa Clara, SMU and New Mexico. His first four teams out are VCU, Auburn, Virginia Tech and Cincinnati.

However, the Hoosiers are included in just 33 of 73 projections on BracketMatrix.com as of Friday afternoon. So along with defeating Ohio State on Saturday and winning a game or two in the Big Ten Tournament, Indiana could use some help in the form of other bubble teams losing.

Here's a look at the other bubble teams in action from Friday to Sunday, the final weekend of the regular season before conference tournament action takes over.
