As I apparently fell asleep in my recliner last night posting I hate Baylor meme's, I never had a chance to sit back and re-assess.

I don't have new matrix standings (will be available around noon), but what can assess they will look like something like this).

Putting those who are not 100% -- first few are loccks.

(87 Brackets)
Xavier 86
Marquette 85
Wake Forest 85
USC 83
Vanderbilt 81
Providence 80
Kansas St 78
Rhode Island 40
-----IN/OUT-------
Syracuse 35
Illinois St 25
Cal 6
Georgia 4
Houston 3
Illinois 3
TCU 1
Iowa 1
Indiana 0

So at the absolute worst we are the last team in /  first team out as of now.   Even if end up the first team out on the matrix,. we still have decent chance.   All it takes is the committee to think we are better than one of the teams above us at this point (which includes Rhode Island)

We are "tied" with Rhode Island - so until they beat Dayton or VCU, they are not passing us.

No more At-Large Teams Moving Past Us Today (Bold to Lose)
1:00 [B]Georgia[/B] vs Kentucky
6:30 [B]Indiana[/B] vs Wisconsin
7:00 [B]TCU[/B] vs Iowa St
9:00 [B]Cal[/B] vs Oregon

No guarantee that any of teams pass us with a win especially Indiana.  We can get a 3-0 split in the other games.     The other team in this race is Houston.   Today's game against UConn is not the one that will put it over the top.   [I][U]It's still reasonably possible that none of these teams pass us.[/U][/I]

As for the bubble busters
Middle Tennessee St must keep on winning
Cincy/SMU must win AAC
Dayton/VCU must win A-10
It would be nice if Nevada wins the MWC
[I]I[U]t's still reasonably possible that the top 3 take care of business[/U][/I]

Lastly, while we may not catch them we never know what the committee may think on close calls - so still worth seeing Vandy, Xavier or Kansas St lose today/

There is a good chance that we are in the same Last In / First Out position until at least tomorrow
