Old Dominion [ 23-7 (15-3), RPI:33, SOS:91]
Xavier [ 23-7 (13-3), RPI:32, SOS:86]

If Xavier wins their conference tournament I put Michigan in.

[hvwarrior58]

So far, its a consensus that GT, Nova, Cuse, WVU, MSU, Indy, Ill, Creighton, Air Force, ODU, and Drexel get in. Both think that Xavier get in as well(either via automatic bid or at large). Either ODU or Xavier get in via automatic bid, so both won't be at large. That gives 3 spots remaining. The top 5 it seems for those 3 are:
Alabama [20-9 (7-8), RPI:34, SOS 47]
Bradley [20-12 (11-9), RPI:39, SOS: 18
Missouri State [21-10 (13-7), RPI:38, SOS:39]
Kansas State [21-10 (10-6), RPI:62, SOS:25]
Purdue [20-10 (9-7), RPI:48, SOS:49}

Of those 5, I would take Bradley, Missouri State, and Kansas State. Of course, that could change with a Bama win today.

[emainvol]

i think the only way Drexel is in is to win the conference tournament.

[hvwarrior58]

Take Creighton off of the list. Insert Southern Illinois(which is a lock for the tourney anyways).

Yea, Southern Illinois is a lock, most likely the only way Creighton gets in, is on a @ Large bid, which is most likely gonna happen.

[hvwarrior58]

Ummm, Creighton won the tournament. That is why I said to take them off. They are in.

Nvm, I see what your saying.

A little behind on my part.
My bad.

[XtennesseeX]

I just got everything updated.

Somebody let me know if I missed out on something.

[hatvol96]

Texas Tech is in the field easily. 2 wins over A&M and their victory over Kansas get them in field.

[VolinArizona]

Alabama has a serious shot of missing the NCAA,

[hatvol96]

Alabama has absolutely no business receiving an NCAA tournament bid.
