(CNN) -- After an action-packed Saturday, the dance card of NCAA men's basketball contenders is filling up fast.

Some of those teams earning tickets this weekend to the upcoming NCAA tournament, such as Kansas, are perennial contenders. Several other potential Cinderellas also punched tickets to join the "March Madness" after winning their conference tournaments.

• New Mexico (Mountain West), by outpacing UNLV

• North Carolina A&T (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference), which narrowly beat Morgan State

• Southern (Southwestern Athletic Conference), after scoring a 1-point win over Prairie View A&M
