We got our first outright bid thief with Saint Mary's upsetting Gonzaga today in the WCC tournament. Also putting Gonzaga's #1 seed in jeporady, pending on the outcome of the Big Ten, ACC, and SEC tournaments. With Saint Mary's entry into the big dance, it sends out North Carolina State, leaving them with work to do in the ACC tourney to make it in.

In other tourney relevant news, North Dakota State of the Summit, Northern Kentucky of the Horizon, Fairleigh Dickinson of the NEC, and Northeastern of the CAA all locked up their bids today.
