Indiana State has to be really close considering where he has Drake.

They are at #45. Them, Richmond, and South Florida are 45-47.

I mean to an at-large. Say, Indiana State loses arch madness final to Drake and maybe there exists a small possibility of MVC stealing a bid. Not too many NET in the 20s get left out, if they can keep it up there.

Right. Was saying they're just behind 44 right now.

I actually think in MVC that Drake ahead of Indiana St. 2 more Q1 wins than Indiana St. Good win vs Nevada which looks big.

so for fun here's what he has for the 6 BE teams-
Marquette 3 MW vs Akron, Clemson/Indiana St in Indianapolis
Creighton 3 S vs High Point, St Mary's/Richmond in Pittsburgh
Seton Hall 11 W PIG vs Virginia, Wisconsin, Kansas in Omaha
Villanova 10 W vs Gonzaga, Arizona in Salt Lake City
UConn 1 E vs Quinnipiac, Northwestern/TCU in Brooklyn
St John's 11 E PIG vs New Mexico, Florida, Duke in Brooklyn

if Marquette, Creighton are 3's it really limts what they can do if BE has 2 teams in the first four as 11's.

#44 is the last at-large spot atm (with A10 and American having 2 bids each), so we have no way of knowing where he thinks Indiana State's at-large resume would place.

agreed. Just speculating there. I think Indiana St if they lost would be in more trouble than Drake. And Drake isn't that close.

so much for Syracuse on the bubble.

Friars and Johnnies did what they needed to do.

Hall-Nova should be fun tomorrow.
