Could the Patriot League get three teams into the NCAA tournament field?

Syracuse, Notre Dame and Duke are the last three teams in the field in our latest projection.

Winners of nine straight and the No. 3 RPI, the Princeton Tigers leap into the No. 6 seed this week.

Johns Hopkins, Michigan and Rutgers still have work to do to bolster their resumes.

Duke is certainly in the conversation, but really could use a victory over Syracuse or North Carolina this month.

There is an enormous bubble featuring 14 teams for seven spots.

The Buckeyes have won nine in a row, but an opening loss to Utah and some easy early games shroud the picture.

The Ivy League has legitimately seven of its eight members in spots to earn berths to the NCAA tournament this year.

Four of Hopkins' wins it hoped to lean on have come against Denver, Towson, Loyola and Virginia, which are having down years.

Three teams have lifted and separated: Boston College, North Carolina and Northwestern.
