Drake vs Northern Iowa
Wake Forest @ NC St
Richmond @ Duquesne
Boise St vs San Diego St
Wyoming vs Utah St
 
Northern Iowa is down 10 at the half. They're not an at-large lock. This would give them three bad losses, and they only have four quality wins (one Q1 win).

i think we have the better resume, but hopefully they can pull it out.

UNI down 16 with 5 to play. That gives them a Q3 loss.

So they would be 4-4 against Q1 and 2. With 3 Q3 loses. An SOS of 114. They have 1 win over a tourney team in Colorado.
 
I understand I am biased, but it would be a travesty that a UNI team is over Cincy. They have 2 wins over the top 100, Colorado and South Carolina. Cincy has 7 wins over the top 100.
 
Well, if they were going to lose, this is the way to do it. 20+ pt loss to a team ranked 167. UNI is 4-3 in quality games. It's possible they could be 5-3 if Drake moves all the way up to 135, since they just won at Drake by 27 a week ago. College basketball is a crazy sport.
 
Utah state plays 9-23 Wyoming tonight, I thought Nevada would win, so that would give them another bad loss if Wyoming who is a 15.5 underdog were to win tonight
 
It also means Utah St has no more quality win opportunities. They are stuck with four, and one of those is #96 North Texas on a neutral court, who could easily drop to Q3.

I'd cheer for Rutgers since they're more firmly "in" at the moment and a loss could really knock Purdue off the bubble for good. However, I'm pretty confident that Purdue will win.
 
Indiana lost. They finish at 9-11 in conference. They are probably still safe, but Lunardi had them in the last four in.

Tennessee got killed at home by Auburn, but I can't see them dropping all the way from 56 to 75.
