Also Considered: (Alphabetical Order)
Baylor was the first tourney team to lose today, dropping a seed to #9 with VCU jumping them.
With Ohio State winning over Indiana, it moves Ohio State off the last four in and into a bye, whereas Indiana drops entirely from the First or Next Four Out.
Creighton drops from the Last Team Out to the Next Four Out line. Very unlikely they'll get a bid.
Maryland with a loss to Nebraska tumbles from the a 5 seed to a 7 seed, being subplanted by both Auburn on the 5 line and Wofford on the 6 line.
Texas Tech remains a 3 seed for now, but expect them to drop to a 4 seed pending on who wins the Big 12 tourney between Kansas or Kansas State (or one or both could get upset and create more craziness).
Nebraska, Alabama, and Xavier may need another win or two to get them into the tourney, but with teams like Clemson, Creighton, Indiana, Texas, and a finnicky bubble of teams listed as in, it isn't doubtful the one of these teams can sneak their way into the field.
Pending on the success of Alabama, Nebraska, and Xavier, Arizona State MUST at least make the PAC-12 finals (even better to be against Washington) to be relatively safe in the field. A loss to any other Pac-12 team could prevent them for being an at-large. A loss in the semifinals would almost guarantee an NIT spot for them.
With a loss to Kansas, Texas drops to 16-16. Their quality wins might give them a boost, but their sheer number of losses is just not going to get them in with other bubble teams continuing to rise.
We still got 3 more days of shenanigans to go, see let's see how it all trickles down.
