Tier IV: Providence, Villanova, Xavier
These three are currently on the wrong side of the bubble but have shown some flashes throughout the season. It's more about putting it all together over the course of a few weeks and making a real push for an at-large bid.
Providence did well to get a statement home win over Creighton on Wednesday night, but it comes on the back of a stretch where they haven't looked the same without Bryce Hopkins.
As for Villanova and Xavier, the chances to add resume-building wins are running thin, and both may be entering Madison Square Garden next month with some work to do.
