In's and Out's

Fun day of basketball. Duke won, Wisconsin won. As for the bracket, here's the in's and out's.

Out
Princeton - no Auto-bid after losing to Cornell
Texas Tech - a loss at home to Texas Tech drops them to 4-6 in conference. Good RPI, will be one of the last 4 out
St. Mary's - 2 game losing streak; no outstanding wins. Got no love last year with a 35 RPI, this year is 44
Dayton - lost at St. Louis, now 7th in A-10

In
Marquette - Huge win against South Florida. RPI is questionable but 7-5 in Big East is a lock
Oklahoma State - destroys Oklahoma at home. RPI is great, 5th in Big 12
Charlotte - half game out of A-10 lead; RPI is average but good enough for now
Cincinnati - Big road win at UConn gets them in for now

Teams that are slipping
UAB - 4th in C-USA contradicts 33th ranked RPI. Can't afford another loss
Rhode Island - 6th in A-10; RPI of 21 would be highest ever without a bid

Game of the day
Syracuse - Louisville
Louisville needs this to stay in the bracket. A loss opens the door for a St. Mary's re-entry.
