We need to start in the Missouri Valley where the top 3 seeds all lost leaving 8 seeded Drake, 4 Bradely, 7 Valpo, and 6 Missouri State left. One of these teams is getting a bid tomorrow while Northern Iowa is left hoping for an at large. Right now I have them in as my last 4 but I can see them falling out by next Sunday.
Our first auto-bids go out today as both the Mountain West and Ohio Valley have their championships.
In the OVC it's Belmont vs Murray State, where the winner gets a 13/14 seed. The should give a 4 seed a run but neither team is as good as they used to be.
In the mountain west Utah State gets one last chance at San Diego State. I think Utah St can survive a close loss but a blow out makes them a strange case for an at-large. Best to just win, get the auto-bid and avoid the play in games.
For the rest of the teams its the end of the regular season; one more chance to get a road win, um looking at you Rutgers!, or improve their resume one way or another.
Oh, and Duke plays UNC. I hear that's a big game or something.
