Being generous with the bubble here, some of these are substantial long shots (i.e. UMass), others I'd classify as in good shape but not a lock (UConn). Teams are listed in order of RPI and includes some current conference leaders who I'd at least marginally consider for an at-large bid if they failed to earn their conference's automatic bid. I've included their next game.

21. UConn: Saturday -- Marquette
30. Seton Hall: Saturday -- @ Cincinnati
32. Harvard: Friday -- Brown
33. Colorado State: Saturday -- Wyoming
34. Middle Tennessee State: Saturday -- FAU
35. Alabama: Saturday -- Tennessee
39. Texas: Saturday -- @ Oklahoma State
41. Long Beach State: Saturday -- @ Creighton (Bracket Buster)
42. West Virginia: Thursday -- @ Pitt
43. Miami-Florida: Saturday -- Wake Forest
44. Northwestern: Saturday -- Minnesota
45. BYU: Saturday -- @ Santa Clara
46. Purdue: Sunday -- Michigan State
47. Oral Roberts: Saturday -- Akron (Bracket Buster)
48. Murray State: Saturday -- St. Mary's (Bracket Buster)
50. Saint Joseph's: Saturday -- @ George Washington
51. Iona: Saturday -- Nevada
52. NC State: Saturday -- Florida State
53. Ole Miss: Saturday -- @ Kentucky
54. Xavier: Saturday: Dayton
55. UCF: Saturday -- East Carolina

66. Oregon: Sunday -- @ Stanford
67. Arizona: Saturday -- @ Washington
68. Dayton: Saturday -- @ Xavier
71. UMass: Saturday -- LaSalle

For all the people who are freaking out, look at that pool of garbage...
 


It would be awesome if the tourney expanded to 96 so all of these worthy teams can be rewarded for what only can be called truly amazing seasons.
