Oklahoma still has a chance if they can win their conference tourney. If all of them fail then it will probably wind up with Memphis by default, a team whose only wins over tourney teams would be Gonzaga and Tennessee who could be 6 and 8 seeds.
Florida-Kentucky and Minnesota-Michigan loom as a couple elimination games this week. Penn St can stamp their ticket with a win tonight against Illinois. Lose and they could be in big trouble. USC must sweep the Oregon schools at home to have a shot. Maryland needs to take care of business at Virginia and they'll probably get in. Texas A&M and Providence are both on the right side of the bubble right now but could assure themselves a spot with a big time win in their finales against Missou and at Villanova. Ohio St needs to get by Northwestern to feel good about their chances. I know everyone has UNLV in for some reason but if they can't win a tough game at San Diego State to get to 10-6 in conference they shouldn't even be in consideration. Assuming they lose how could you put them in at 9-7 in a conference that New Mexico is 12-4 and San Diego St 11-5 in? Should be an interesting couple days, especially after all the bubble wackiness the past two nights.
