Conference tournaments are limiting their surprises, which means only a few potential bid-snatchers remain as Selection Sunday approaches.

The Indiana Hoosiers' loss in the Big Ten Tournament puts them in a precarious position with Selection Sunday just around the corner.

Indiana will watch how Xavier, Villanova, North Carolina, SMU, VCU, Liberty, San Diego State and Dayton fare in the coming days.

Sandwiched between the two Mitten State teams is Maryland, which won seven of its final eight games and 11 of its last 13 to wrap its regular season. The Terrapins went 14-6 in Big Ten play and matched their program record for most wins in the conference after joining the league from the ACC in 2013.

The Hoosiers stumbled their way to an early exit up the road from their campus, and took their NCAA Tournament hopes out of their own hands.

Indiana came into the day ranked No. 52 in the NET Rankings with a 4-12 record against Quad 1 opponents (three of those wins came on the road) and no losses against Quad 2-4 teams. They finished .500 in conference play after closing out the regular season with five wins in their last seven games.

After a 72-59 loss to Oregon in the Big Ten Tournament Thursday in Indianapolis, the Hoosiers' NCAA Tournament chances hang in the balance. Going into the Oregon game, Indiana was listed as one of the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament in Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology from early Thursday morning.
