I hope you're right, but my boys have a tough schedule left. Road games at KSU and Baylor along with home games against KU and Texas could easily add up to four losses. That would basically mean they would need to win the rest of their other games (including two more conference road games) and maybe win a conference tournament game to get in.

Not that it was likely to make a difference, but if Carolina had any shot of slipping into the dance, chances are almost for certain over as Ed Davis is out for next 6 weeks with a broken wrist.

Since the expanded tourney format, when was the last time the defending champ did not make the tourney the next year?

Yeah, the schedule is the only reason I didn't have them as a lock. Still, they should be able to win one of those four games you mention, they have the win over Kansas State and a few decent nonconference wins (Old Dominion, Illinois) on neutral courts. 4-3 the rest of the way gets them in, and even 3-4 wouldn't be a death sentence, considering that they'd still be >.500 in the #1 RPI conference.

The inability to block out on a missed free throw cost them the Baylor game.
The team has been a bit frustrating this year, and may be underachieving a bit (although last year's team probably overachieved). Still, compared to anything we experienced during the Quin Snyder era, this team is a whole lot of fun to watch.
