1) Relatively few changes today, although NC State's win over Pittsburgh moves both teams closer towards the cut line. There's a number of interesting games tonight, but I'll be keeping my eye on Kansas State @ Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are a talented team and most advanced metrics say they're tourney-worthy, but a loss tonight would put them at 0-6 in the Big 12, meaning they'd probably need to go 8-4 down the stretch to make the tournament.

1: Villanova, Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky
2: Gonzaga, Creighton, Florida State, Butler
3: UCLA, North Carolina, Louisville, Florida
4: Oregon, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Virginia
5: Arizona, Duke, Cincinnati, Minnesota
6: St. Mary's, Maryland, South Carolina, Xavier
7: Wisconsin, Purdue, SMU, TCU
8: Northwestern, USC, Michigan State, Dayton
9: Clemson, Virginia Tech, Arkansas, VCU
10: Middle Tennessee, Iowa State, Seton Hall, UNC Wilmington
11: Pittsburgh, Illinois, Indiana, (Georgia/Wake Forest)
12: (California/Miami (FL)), Illinois State, Chattanooga, Vermont
13: Nevada, Princeton, Valparaiso, Monmouth
14: Akron, New Mexico State, Bucknell, Florida Gulf Coast
15: Belmont, Georgia Southern, Winthrop, Weber State
16: North Dakota State, Texas Southern, (UC Irvine/New Orleans), (Long Island/Morgan State)

First Four Out: Kansas State, Texas Tech, Rhode Island, Mississippi
Next Four Out: Marquette, North Carolina State, Nebraska, Wichita State
Also Considered: Charleston, Georgia Tech, Utah, Michigan, La Salle, Houston, UT-Arlington, Oklahoma State, Providence, Penn State, Tennessee, Stanford, Alabama, Central Florida

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

The last quiet bubble day of conference tournament week is done, with six more bids punched. Robert Morris moves into the field for St. Francis PA after their win in the NEC title game. I was supposed to be heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament tomorrow and likely up to Cambridge for the Ivy League tournament this weekend. I've cancelled my trip to New York, and the Ivy League tournament has been cancelled with Yale given the conference's berth in March Madness with their regular season title. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 1
