Tomorrow, the last four automatic bids go out.
+NC State and Duke will tip off at 1pm (ESPN) for the ACC crown. NC State's off the bubble, by the way. Any questions after their win over Wake today? Didn't think so.
+Also commencing at 1pm (CBS) is the SEC championship, which sees Kentucky going for their 22nd "W" in a row against Mississippi State.
+I think Kansas lost their #1 seed by losing to Missouri today; Oklahoma could pick it up by topping Quinn's kids in the Big 12 title tilt (3pm, ESPN).
+And as always, the Big Ten will be the finale to Championship Week, and as almost always, there's a surprise in the final (remember Iowa's four wins/four days rush to the crown two years ago?). This year, it's Ohio State, playing for their NCAA lives and taking on a very battle-tested Illinois team (330pm, CBS).
For the record, IF Oklahoma wins tomorrow, I say the #1 seeds go to Kentucky (#1 overall, assuming they win - and maybe even if they don't), Arizona, OK, and Pittsburgh. Kansas blew it today, Texas blew it Friday, Wake blew it today, and Marquette blew it Thursday. If OK loses to MO, Kansas gets the fourth top seed by default. And yes, thanks to losses by UAB, USC, and Temple today, the Charmed sisters of the mid-majors ("the power of three will set us free...": Gonzaga, SIU, and Butler) are, and should be, in.
