EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – We have 8 new teams in this week’s Field of 68 projection, including new at-larges Florida, Notre Dame, and Saint Louis. Creighton, North Carolina (zero Quad 1 wins) and West Virginia (losers of 7 straight) drop from the field.
Here’s where we stand with under a month to go until conference tournaments get underway. There’s a hint of Madness in the air.
Automatic qualifiers from multiple-bid conferences are noted with an *. Auto qualifiers own the best conference record or -- in the event of a standings tie -- the best NET ranking (noted in parentheses).
