Off this subject, what do you think with SDSU? Gotta win and get the autobid today or does the New Mexico win last night get them in? They don’t have a good OOC resume this year like they usually do so it’s iffy IMO

I get the feeling they have to win today. Although if they get in, they are certainly peaking at the right time.

Ole Miss is potential bid stealer, playing well after stinking all year

The odds of them winning the next 2 games (after 3 games in 3 days) are quite low.

I have a feeling once they hit a wall in a game, it will hit hard and they get run out.

Still a great run,

One of the great days of hoops all year. Watching Vermont for our once a year appointment. Taylor Coppenwrath. Probably spelled that wrong. Haha or it could be Tyler.

They are in the range that they could be a "surprise" pick, but its not very likely. They need to win tonight against Utah St.

The issue for SD St and MWC teams in general. is that the MWC wasn't as strong in OOC play as years previous... and that has a downward impact on NET which builds off itself in conference play.. So less Q1 opportunities within conference play.

I will also add that using the bracket matrix as a guide, MWC teams that are consensus "out" have never got in.

Taylor Coppenrath is now 44 years old.

Oklahoma lost last night to Arkansas.
That should remove them from consideration as an at-large.

There are no more teams playing that can win their way into an at-large bid as far as I can tell.
It comes down to bid stealers at this point. and there are still 3 possibilities as per below. Teams most susceptible to bid stealers would appear to be SMU, Texas, Miami and VCU.

#1. SEC - Ole Miss vs Arkansas (Semi-Finals)
#2. MWC - San Diego St vs Utah St (Finals)

#3. A-10
George Washington vs St. Louis (Semi's)
St Joe's vs VCU (Semi's)
