Remaining Spots: The 2/28 Update

Sure Single-Bid Conferences:

1. MAAC (Iona/Manhattan)
2. Big Sky (Northern Arizona/Montana)
3. Ohio Valley (Murray St.)
4. Southland (Northwestern St.)
5. Big South (Winthrop)
6. Southern (Georgia Southern)
7. Ivy (Penn)
8. Big West (Pacific)
9. Northeast (Fairliegh-Dickinson)
10. America East (Albany)
11. Mid-Continent (IUPUI)
12. Atlantic sun (Lipscomb/Belmont)
13. MEAC (Deleware St.)
14. SWAC (Southern)
15. Horizon (Wis-Mil)
16. MAC (Akron)

The next two spots are a little tricky. Both Bucknell and WKU will be right on the bubble if they lose in their conference tournaments, especially in the championship. Thus, I'll list them as their conference favorite, but also put them on the bubble.

17. Sun Belt (Western Kentucky)
18. Patriot (Bucknell)

Then there are the teams that have already sewn up a bid, but are the only teams in their conferences that have done so. If these teams do not win their Conference Tournaments, they'll still be in, but there will be one less bubble spot available due to the automatic bid.

19. Gonzaga (West Coast)
20. George Mason (Colonial)
21. Memphis (C-USA)
22. George Washington (A-10)
23. Nevada (WAC)

Then, the teams from sure multi-bid conferences that have wrapped up their spot:

24. Illinois
25. Indiana
26. Wisconsin
27. Michigan St.
28. Ohio St.
29. Michigan
30. Villanova
31. Pitt
32. UCONN
33. WVU
34. Georgetown
35. Marquette
36. Duke
37. Boston College
38. NC State
39. North Carolina
40. Florida
41. Tennessee
42. LSU
43. Alabama
44. Texas
45. Oklahoma
46. Kansas
47. UNI
48. Wichita St.
49. Missouri St.
50. UCLA
51. Arizona
