-Next 4 Out: Providence, Minnesota, VCU, UNC-Greensboro

-I am starting to get upset that Gonzaga is STILL a 2-seed, even after Duke's embarrassing loss to NC St. What on earth do they have to do in order for KPI and RPI to rate them fairly? I'll be seeking ways to improve the algorithm over the offseason, and dealing with outliers that seem to unfairly destroy teams (like Gonzaga) might be part of this process.

-I'm surprised Cincinnati is still in after losing at home to UCF. They have more ugly losses than just this one, too.
