Last Four In: Maryland, Mississippi State, Missouri, Central Arkansas
First Four Out: Virginia, Texas State, South Alabama, Ohio State
Several conferences have rotated their projected champion with someone new this week. The Pac-12 has all but 1 team in the field this week and the SEC once again has all 13 teams in the field (with Missouri and Mississippi State part of the last four in). Central Arkansas earns an at-large bid because of their top-20 RPI. The Sun Belt has several teams that are close to being on the bubble. Texas State is a team that was in the tournament last week, but find themselves out this week.
