Conference Tournament action continues on Friday as bubbles continue to pop and NCAA Tournament bids continue to be handed out.
North Carolina and Texas are among the bubble teams in action Friday, as the Tar Heels take on Duke in the ACC Tournament (7 p.m. ET on ESPN), while the Longhorns will battle Tennessee in an SEC Tournament quarterfinal matchup (3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN).
Is this a “win-and-in” game for the Tar Heels? What would a victory over Tennessee do for Texas’ NCAA Tournament hopes?
FOX Sports bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy is here to answer that and more with his latest NCAA Tournament projections.
Heading into Friday’s conference tournament action, DeCourcy has Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida listed as No. 1 seeds. All four teams will be in action on Friday.

Purdue, Iowa State, Maryland and Clemson round out the No. 4 seeds in DeCourcy’s projections.
As for the bubble, DeCourcy has San Diego State, Indiana, North Carolina and Texas among his last four teams to get into the tournament, while Xavier, Ohio State, Boise State and UC Irvine are listed as DeCourcy’s first four teams out.
