Even though there were five conference title games this afternoon, this final projection contains one change in the at-large pool since this morning, thanks to another pass at the numbers. That’s Wichita State, even with a subpar NET of 72. The Shockers’ win over Houston is the best any of the remaining bubble teams have on their profile and a victory at Ole Miss doesn’t hurt either. However, it was a lack of bad losses that pushed them past Utah State and back into the field after the final analysis.
It’s all going to depend on what the Selection Committee decides to value the most in this most unique and challenging of college basketball seasons.
