ST. JOHN'S, Antigua – (PRESS RELEASE) -- The apprehension of several college basketball programs will be immeasurable on Selection Sunday as they wait to hear if they'll participate in March Madness.

With the tournament hopes of several major college teams still unclear heading into conference tournaments, BetWWTS.com today announced odds on a number of "bubble teams" making the NCAA Tournament.
A leading offshore gaming company for over 10 years, BetWWTS.com has created odds on several teams from the seven major Division I conferences qualifying for this year's NCAA tournament.
