Early Bubble Watch 2025: Tracking the NCAA Tournament Hopefuls

With Selection Sunday still two months away, it's time to take an early look at which teams are on track to make the NCAA tournament.

The 2024-25 men's college basketball season is well underway, and with about 50 days until the power-conference tournaments tip off, it's time to start tracking which teams are on course to make the NCAA tournament. We'll be launching our full Bubble Watch column on Feb. 4, but for now, we want to give a preview of which teams are probably safe and which ones should be worried about their tourney status down the stretch of the regular season.
