10 bubble teams with best chance to reach 2025 NCAA Tournament

10. Boise State Broncos

Mountain West leader New Mexico seems nearly locked into an at-large bid, but a host of teams from the conference are on the bubble behind the Lobos, including Utah State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Boise State. Each has had a strong season, but Boise State could emerge as the best of the bunch in the coming weeks. The 22-win Broncos have a pair of impressive non-conference victories over Clemson and Saint Mary’s and haven’t suffered a bad loss in conference play. With wins in nine of their last 10 games, a victory to close the regular season against Colorado State could put Boise State inside the bracket for the fourth straight year. While Leon Rice’s squad has a good offense led by senior Tyson Degenhart, its defense has been its strong suit, ranking 32nd in the country while allowing just under 66 points per contest.
