Florida is a lock, and Alabama suddenly finds itself having more to worry about.

Atlantic 10:
Well, Davidson, you are back in the picture now following beating Rhode Island at home yesterday. We just wonder what could have been if you had won that 3 OT game the other night at Saint Bonaventure. As for Rhode Island, once you are a lock, you stay a lock, and we do not feel that this will be a problem right now, even if the Rams are not inspiring confidence in their team the last couple games.
Locks (1): Rhode Island
Probably In (1): Saint Bonaventure
Bubble (0):
Probably Out (1): Davidson
Mountain West:
Nevada is now a lock, so it's pretty simple for the MWC. It will be a 1-bid league if Nevada wins the tournament, but, if someone else does, it will get 2 and steal a bid from another conference.
Locks (1): Nevada
Probably In (0):
Bubble (0):
Probably Out (0):
Over/Under: 1
West Coast:
Saint Mary's is very close to a lock. As long as they win the WCC or lose to Gonzaga or BYU, they will be locked up. There is still a remote chance of a bad loss.
Locks (1): Gonzaga
Probably In (1): Saint Mary's
Bubble (0):
Probably Out (0):
Others:
What happened, MTSU? And WKU for that matter?
Noteworthy Auto-Bids: Loyola-Chicago

Bubble (1): MTSU
Probably Out (2): Louisiana, New Mexico State
