PrintCongrats to Creighton and San Diego State that jump into the picture after UNLV and Arizona faltered last night. They are not completely safe in the bracket at this point, however. Right now, Minnesota and Virginia Tech are both playing the top seeds in their conference for the right to go to the dance. Win and they are in. Same applies for the Florida Gators. After the best game I've ever seen, Syracuse is a solid four seed no matter what happens and West Virginia could keep rising as they look to be a force at this point.
Here's how they stack up...

Personally..
I think we’ve moved into the either first or second best 4 seed so it would be a shame if we ended up with cleveland st. because I look at them as being the best 13 seed out of those teams, I would gladly take the other three just please not cleveland st.
I was curious to see that if the current 3 and 4 seeds lose early this week there might be a shot at the last 3rd seed...
Now that would be a huge jump because last week we were talking how we would be happy if we just got a 5…
I agree
Thats why I find it interesting that Kansas held on to their 3 seed after losing to Baylor.

I like Kansas at the 3 vs. Cleveland State...
Add it to the list of 14 seeds that have beaten Kansas recently…
I want North Dakota State in the first round…the only thing they have is a big strong guard…weird that GU has 3 of those…
