Xavier's gotta cheer hard for TT, UNC, Tulsa, Umass, and Richmond tonight. Just maybe they stay in most brackets for another day... oh yeah Boise too. I don't think Wyoming is out of the woods yet.

Dayton survives UMass. Xavier really needs a Richmond win here or one of VCU/Dayton going to get a really good win tomorrow.

[stever20]

well I think UConn is probably playing here coming up now for a 4 seed. And Nova may be playing for a 2 seed. Classic Big East game here.

As ridiculous as it sounds, there's still a chance the ACC gets the same number of teams in as the Big East (6). It's pretty unlikely, but possible.

What a joke, that league is gifting each other 10/11 seeds, they are trash. I think they max out at 5 though, no way they let VT AND Wake Forest.

We'll see if VT or TAMU jumps Xavier when this updates tomorrow.

Yeah. Xavier had a so-so day today. tomorrow could easily be it though. These teams if they win will finish ahead of Xavier-
SMU- if they beat Memphis
Va Tech- if they beat Duke
Texas A&M- if they beat Arkansas

And then you have the A10.

This is what Lunardi has right now-
Wyoming
Michigan
SMU
Xavier
-----------
Va Tech
Oklahoma
Wake Forest
Dayton
Texas A&M

Mildly surprised that this many results didn’t favor Xavier and they’re still clinging on to the last spot or so. What needs to happen tomorrow doesn’t feel as daunting as it did the last two days, but it’s still a longshot for X.

Arkansas -6.5
Davidson -3.5
Duke -6

They’re all favorites and bare minimum results needed.

Richmond/Dayton is pretty close to necessary as well. It’s possible to have Dayton lose to Davidson and not jump Xavier, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Memphis over SMU could end up helping.

Iowa over Indiana just in case.

Houston over Tulsa.

I think there’s a realistic chance that A10 and AAC’s title game being slated to end like an hour or less before the selection show could end up screwing other bubble teams.
