The Big Ten has eight teams that should be locks to reach the NCAA Tournament. For the league to hit double figures, teams on the bubble will have to have a strong finish to the season. Indiana appeared to be on the outside looking in less than a month ago, but has reeled off four wins in five games to move onto the bubble. Ohio State has moved in the opposite direction. In good shape a couple of weeks ago, the Buckeyes lost three straight before knocking off USC 87-82 last Wednesday. Nebraska and Northwestern also are hoping to make late pushes into the field of 68.
