Last Four In: Troy, Virginia Tech, Xavier, Kansas State
First Four Out: Notre Dame, Baylor, Cal Poly, Western Kentucky
Another shakeup in the Top 16 National Seeds this week as Auburn launches themselves back in – all the way up to the No. 8 overall seed. UC Irvine and Ole Miss drop back out and Coastal Carolina is back in as the No. 15 overall seed. There are so many teams sitting on the fence of being a Regional host – UC Irvine, Ole Miss, UCLA, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Dallas Baptist. Florida, a team that wasn’t even in the tournament a few weeks ago has a shot at hosting a Regional in my opinion due to their strong showing in the second half of their season, which has bolstered their RPI considerably.
