The bubble popped for several teams during conference tournament action this past week, as the likes of Oregon, North Carolina State and Duquesne all stole bids from teams that were waiting to hear their names called on Selection Sunday.

But in the end, we have a loaded field of 68 teams, and it’s time to fill out those brackets.

We asked FOX Sports college basketball writers John Fanta and Michael Cohen to submit their full brackets ahead of the Big Dance.
