Very little movement last night, although Arizona State almost got a huge upset win against Oregon. The main attraction last night was also in the Pac-12 with  Utah @ Cal, and it didn't disappoint as Cal won in double OT. Utah is now 10 teams outside of my field, and probably needs to go 7-1 the rest of the way to make the tournament. That would put them in an interesting spot- aside from a loss against a pretty decent San Francisco team and last night's loss to Cal, the rest of their losses would be against teams I currently have as an 8 seed or higher. However, their best win would be home against USC or home against Cal. The lack of good wins or bad losses would be an interesting litmus test for the committee.

Due to the light schedule tonight, (the only game of note is Rhode Island @ Davidson) my next update will be Sunday morning.

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
