While the college basketball world is in flux, there are a number of under-the-radar teams that others will not want to see in the NCAA tournament.

Despite all of the crazy results (Duke and Kentucky both losing on the same day) and odd conference standings (Iowa State currently sixth in the Big 12), college basketball has never been more entertaining. In reality, all of the chaos has made for the best, most unpredictable season of college hoops in quite some time.

Which means that March is going to be even more chaotic than last year, which was insane in the membrane.

Though much of the attention in the NCAA tournament is going to center around the powerhouses (if there are any) and the potential mid-major upsets, the focus should be on  the teams that probably won’t win it all, but could make that unexpected run to the Final Four, knock off some of those powerhouses and be their own version of Cinderella.

Of course, it would be rather easy to say that teams nobody wants to play in March are teams such as North Carolina, Kansas and Oklahoma. Those are the easy answers. It’s the teams that are good but not great right now and ones that have fallen off the radar a bit that should be the most feared in the NCAA tournament.

Here are five teams that may not be considered Final Four threats right now but should be watched closely as the teams to play spoiler in March.
