Akron to Wisconsin – Alphabetical List of Who should Make it to March Madness

If the season ended today, these are the 58 teams (in alphabetical order) that should be invited to March Madness.  The list starts with a newcomer in Akron – led by 7-foot center Zeke Marshall (20th best player at www.valueaddbasketball.com), 5-foot-11 Alex Abreu and 6-foot-7 Demetrius Treadwell – and ends with reliable Wisconsin.

If you do not see your school on this list, you can click here to see if they are one of the “Middle 20” that we believe should be considered for the final 10 spots.  If they are not on that list, we do not believe they deserve to keep playing in March Madness unless they have a breakthrough.  We are basing this list on who we believe deserves the bids to date – it is not a prediction:
