Last Four In: Richmond, Washington, Princeton, Harvard
First Four Out: Virginia Tech, St. Joseph’s, Arizona, Colorado
Several changes this week after most of the Power 5 conferences have completed their conference tournaments. George Mason likely steals a bid out of the Atlantic 10 by winning against St. Joseph’s in the championship game (almost a two-bid stealer!). The Ivy League is projected to have THREE teams in the tournament this year with 2 of the 3 coming in as part of the Last Four In. Minnesota is certainly not getting in. Neither is Cincinnati or Seton Hall. The 1 and 2-seeds are solidified. However, there could be some movement between the top 3 and 4 seeds depending on what happens over the next week while the other conferences finish up their tournaments and the NET changes.
