Lunardi has now removed Richmond and replaced them with Buffalo. Iona remains in the 3rd position of the next 4 out. I'm really surprised Texas A&M and Old Dominion did not drop further, especially with Illinois being completely removed from consideration.

The one thing that must be remembered is that this is just one man's opinion. He has absolutely zero to do with the actual selection committee.
I do fear the committee--being all NCAA and all--keeping Iona and Murray State out of the last 4 out simply so they ensure NIT 1 seeds go to big schools and as such get them more $.

Adding to that point, is it me or did ESPN last year show and talk more about the "next four out". They are now shown in tiny font at the bottom of the tv screen and never mentioned.

I thought they talked a lot more about it. Like at every "Bubble Team" view.

Deleware state on to the MEAC final! Live RPI jumps us from 54 to 51 with this win. Bad news Manhattan moves up a spot with NC central losing.

La tech loses on road at uab despite being 1 seed. They may go ahead of us in next four out.

SOS is around 200, RPI around 50. The thing that surprises me is that Iona and Murray State are not even mentioned by the media. I mean we are supposedly the 6th and 7th team on the outside looking in. I mean a little mention wouldn't hurt.

Not so sure they move ahead of us. Except for conference they beat nobody. Northwestern state was best ooc win...no kidding. plus I can't see both LA tech and odu from same conference being in bubble conversation...sad for LA Tech though tourney was played in Birmingham and uab definitely got some favorable calls

Live RPI inches up to 50. If Arkansas beat Kentucky we probably would go up 3 or 4 more spots.

An RPI of 45 or 46 would be pretty good. Probably and we likely would easily have the biggest point differential win over any NCAA team.

A game effort but UCLA loses to Arizona 70-64.
Honestly, UCLA looked like a tourney team. Impressive.
