With Clemson's loss to NC State, it swaps their position in the tourney with NC State. Clemson is most likely out pending on the success of other bubble teams. NC State is still lingering on the bubble, but they are one step closer to securing a bid. Oklahoma with a bad loss to West Virginia falls from a 8 seed to a 10 seed and on the verge of dropping farther. They should still be relatively safe, barring bubble catastrophe.

Other than that, St. John's and TCU winning should put them into the field, especially with the teams that are below them that are already eliminated from their conference tournaments. Colgate and Northeastern locked up their NCAA auto bids yesterday as well.
