CNNSI.com's Big Dance Card
There are 31 automatic and 34 at-large bids for the 2001 tournament.

Using the table below, you can figure the number of available spots for "bubble" teams by subtracting the number of "lock" teams from 34. All three columns will be constantly updated between now and Selection Sunday (March 11).

Conferences with no school listed under "automatic" do not presently have more than one "lock" team. Schools in bold have clinched NCAA bids.
