I think we can get out of that game today and back in the 6/7 range with a win tonight and a bit of help.

Things that would be helpful today-
-Oregon, UConn and ISU continuing their strong play in their conference tournaments. Oregon in particular has played extremely well as of late and could certainly win that tournament. ISU losing to Kansas State really doesn't hurt them at all, they're already assured of a 6 or 7.
-Losses from Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Nevada, VCU ,UCF. Certainly not all of them will lose, and they're all favorites today playing teams that are not at all in the at large discussion. All in the 6/7/8 range but if any were to lose today and we were able to score a huge victory, it might be enough for us to nudge in front of them.
 
UCONN just got decimated by Houston, so that won't help, but VCU just lost to Rhode Island, so we should pass them on the seed line.
 
Goes without saying we need to win tonight.

Beyond that, need to hope that Cincy and UCF have lousy performances in the American tournament. If you go by Bracket Matrix.
 
Memphis taking it to UCF. If they can finish this off it will be another team in this seed range we should find ourselves in front of, regardless of what happens tonight. I still can't see ISU falling to an 8/9 game. The only way we would pass ISU is by actually getting to Sunday. The teams I'm considering still on our radar for us to potentially jump (assuming we're currently sitting behind them) are Cincy, Washington, UCF, Nevada and Buffalo.
