It’s a tense part of the year for teams on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament, and Wednesday’s game between Rutgers and Indiana featured two teams trying to find their way into the field.

That game was a duel all the way and produced some fireworks down the stretch. In the end, Ron Harper Jr. drained a 3-pointer ahead of the buzzer that proved to be a game-winner for the Scarlet Knights.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his latest Bracketology focusing on the top seeds and the bubble watch. According to Lunardi, Rutgers is now a part of the “Last Four In” section of teams to make the tournament. Meanwhile, Indiana landed in the “First Four Out” of teams left out of the field.

Also included in the bubble section, Michigan has climbed into the “Last Four Byes” sections and should squarely be in the tournament. Michigan finishes the regular season with games against ranked opponents in No. 24 Iowa and No. 23 Ohio State.

At the top of the bracket, Wisconsin – after guaranteeing at least a share of the regular-season B1G title – is slotted in as a 2-seed. Purdue is slotted at a 3-seed while Illinois is slotted at a 4-seed.
