Last Four In: Miami (FL), Kentucky, Connecticut, Kansas State
First Four Out: Xavier, Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Virginia
There were a few bubble bursters this year including Nebraska, East Carolina, Western Kentucky, and potentially even Cal Poly. With these teams receiving their conference’s auto-bid to the Tournament, Xavier is the first team out followed by Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, and Virginia. Miami (FL), Kentucky, Kansas State, and Connecticut are our Last Four In with Kansas State being the Last Team In. The Regionals now reflect the official sites from the NCAA Selection Committee. The national seeds and teams in the Regionals are our final projection before the selection show on Monday. Vanderbilt should have the number one overall seed as their RPI and resume suggests, and not to mention an outstanding performance in the SEC Tournament and the last few weekends.
