With the NCAA Tournament Selection Show just 25 days away, the bubble is a dangerous place for women's college basketball teams. Teams are in a final push to boost their resumes and secure coveted at-large bids as the regular season winds down.
Iowa State Cyclones are the top bubble team and in great shape for a bye, especially with the return of Addy Brown from injury. Colorado Buffaloes kept their hopes alive with a crucial late rally against Arizona. Richmond Spiders remain in the 'last four in' group despite a loss to strong George Mason.
Princeton Tigers have fallen onto the bubble after two losses to Columbia but are helped by overall consistency and quality wins. Clemson Tigers have a chance to secure a bid with key games ahead, aided by a tough non-conference schedule. Stanford Cardinal are a hard sell at 5-9 in the ACC and need a deep conference tournament run.
Utah Utes show flashes but lack consistency, while Kansas State Wildcats' chaotic season includes great wins but damaging Quad 3 and 4 losses. The race for the final tournament spots remains highly volatile.
