Bubble Watch: Saturday's winners and losers among NCAA tournament fringe teams

Indiana got off on the right foot in March by upsetting Michigan State for the second time this season Saturday — getting its first winning streak of the New Year. The Hoosiers (15-14 6-12 Big Ten) had lost 12 of 13 before this week began, but Tuesday's overtime win against Wisconsin and the upset of the Spartans pushes them right into the equation for bubble teams that are fighting to squeeze into the field of 68 on Selection Sunday, two weeks from now.

Here's a look at Saturday's biggest winners and losers on the NCAA tournament bubble:Indiana: The Hoosiers beat Michigan State 63-62 to add another Quadrant 1 (top-30 home, top-75 road) victory to their résumé. Auburn: A safe No. 8 seed entering Saturday's action, an 80-75 home win against Mississippi State might have sealed the Tigers' inclusion in the field of 68. Butler: The Bulldogs (15-14, 6-10 Big East) hurt their NCAA tourney hopes with Saturday's 75-54 loss to Villanova, not so much because falling to 'Nova doesn't count as a respectable loss, but because it was their last chance to really enhance their résumé with two Big East games left before the conference tournament. South Carolina: For a team that basically had to win to keep its NCAA tourney hopes alive, Saturday's 78-63 loss to SEC bottom-feeder Missouri really wasn't the right turn of events.
