Last Four In: UCF, UNC Wilmington, TCU, Northeastern
First Four Out: Virginia Tech, Troy, Indiana, St. John’s
With the regular season coming to an end and the post-season on the horizon beginning with conference tournaments this week, one thing is for certain … there are quite a few bubble teams on the bubble this year and no one is safe. LSU sweeps Ole Miss and knocks them out completely. LSU is back in but on the edge of the Last Four In. A couple of wins in Hoover should lock them in as an at-large. There is a lot of parity among the top 16 National Seeds and about ¼ of them are on the fence of hosting and becoming a two-seed in someone’s regional. There are several other teams just on the doorstep of becoming a top 16 seed such as Mississippi State, Dallas Baptist, UC Santa Barbara, and Duke.
