Last Four In: Liberty, Marquette, Dayton, Mississippi State
First Four Out: Tulsa, South Dakota State, Buffalo, Northern Iowa
As we approach the midway point in conference play, things are starting to heat up nationwide. Most conferences, if not all, are all up for grabs. The A-10 has the potential to have 3 teams in the tournament. The SEC has the most in the tournament right now with 9 teams. Mississippi State, Marquette, and Liberty have all made the jump to the Last Four In while Tulsa has dropped to the First Four Out. Kentucky has dropped from the picture completely but with the team looking like they can come back together after suspensions and injuries maybe they can peak at the right time and find themselves in the tournament.
