Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
It's sounding like the NCAA Tournament field will expand to 76 teams next season. Sigh.
As the bubble sits today, here's my estimation of the eight additional at-large teams that would make the field if there were 76 invitees this season: Cal (18-8), San Diego State (18-7), Seton Hall (18-9), Stanford (16-10), TCU (16-10), UCLA (17-9), VCU (21-6), and Virginia Tech (17-10).
Be honest, would we really need those teams in the tournament? The only one in this group I'd want to see in the field is VCU.
