Last Four In: NC State, Louisiana, Arizona State, UC Irvine
First Four Out: Troy, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Kansas State
There are quite a few bid stealers this year with Tulane being at the forefront. Tulane enters the NCAA Tournament at 19-40 (perhaps the team with the worst record ever in the tournament?). Clemson makes a jump in the national seeds after claiming the ACC title and LSU slides just a little. There were many 3 seeds who could’ve been 2 seeds and vice versa. It will be interesting to see how the committee sorts them out. I expect Wake Forest to have the #1 overall national seed.
