    With IU basketball as on the bubble as it gets, we’ll check each day where the Hoosiers stand in the land of bracketology ahead of Selection Sunday.

    How bubbly are the Hoosiers?  Indiana is a near consensus team in either the First Four In the field of First Four Out across more than 100 projections.

    A Friday look at Bracket Matrix shows the Hoosiers in 102 of 107 projections, including 77 of 81 updated on Thursday following their loss to Oregon.

    If the Hoosiers make it in to the field of 68, they appear almost certain to be a First Four team like they were in 2022.  Those games are next Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio.

    Selection Sunday show coverage begins on Sunday, March 16 at 6 p.m. ET on CBS.

    Some of the teams widely believed to contending for one of the final four spots in the field along with IU include:

    • Arkansas,
    • Vanderbilt,
    • Utah State,
    • West Virginia,
    • North Carolina,
    • Texas,
    • Boise State,
    • Xavier,
    • San Diego State,
    • Colorado State,
    • UC Irvine,
    • Ohio State,
    • Dayton,
    • Wake Forest,
    • Villanova
