2024 NCAA Tournament Bracket Watch: New Mexico’s in, Indiana State is out

Usually, right around this time, we find ourselves saying, “Do any of these bubble teams actually want to play in the NCAA Tournament?” Not this season. • New Mexico, which beat Boise State in the Mountain West tournament for its fourth Q1 win after entering the day 25th in the NET. Meanwhile, three teams in our First Four — Virginia, Texas A&M and St. John’s — all won too, as did the team with the last bye, Mississippi State. Colorado has beaten just one team in the field — Washington State, at home — and has a losing record in the first two quads and on the road.
