No changes to our NIT Bracketology today, after all five teams with a shot to play their way in went and won.
Disastrous night.
But hey—that’s only for them.
For the rest of you, here’s how things stack up:
First Four Out: Santa Clara, Cincinnati, UCF, Nebraska
Same as yesterday, and…
Next Four Out: Utah, Wake Forest, UNLV, Marshall
…same as yesterday.
Conference Complications: Sam Houston State, Kent State, Dayton (kind of)
Charleston leaves (good riddance!) and nobody joins.
Automatic Dreams: Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Yale, Iona, Vermont, Colgate
Oral Roberts leaves (kind of sad about this one) and that leaves us with a maximum of eighteen automatic bids: These five, the twelve in our bracket, and FAU.
Losers: Oklahoma, Ohio State
Oklahoma, barring an Invisible .500 Rule™ change, needs to get to .500 to get in.
Ohio State needs a time machine.

Whole lot more today. Go basketball.
