Oregon State was knocked out of the Pac-12 Tournament by Cal late Thursday night, but holds fast at a 10-seed in Joey Brackets latest.

Nebraska is knocking on the door of the NBK, as Herbie got by Wisconsin to make the quarterfinals of the Big Tennish.  Lincoln’s finest are still #96 in the KenPom and will likely have to plow through both Maryland and Michigan State just to get to the conference tournament final, so for now they remain Unkissable.

Holy Cross!   The Crusaders have never made the Sweet Sixteen, but they are going to have a prayer of a chance this year.   They won their way in despite a #159 rating and unholy 14-19 record.

In NBK Bubble news,  Oregon State and St. Bonaventure have moved up to Last Four Byes status, while Monmouth remains in the Last Four In.   The likes of Syracuse and Vanderbilt seem to be buffeting the Hawks upwards, so all trends point toward Monmouth joining the field of 68 on Sunday.

In action today are South Carolina, St. Bonaventure, Hawaii, Stephen F. Austin, and Akron.  Best of luck and pucker up.
