Quite a bit of downward movement characterizes this week in the Never Been Kissed — those schools who have never made it to the Sweet Sixteen since the field was expanded to 64 back in 1985. SLU (not pictured) had a huge road win over Rhode Island, moving the Rams to the wrong side of the bubble, but improving the Billikens NBK standing. They may yet “pull a Furman” as the Southern conference runner-up earned a bye and got back on our radar.

This week’s NBK standings mark the return of Ken Pomeroy’s Log5 conference tourney projections, with Liberty‘s high probability of winning the Atlantic Sun conference standing out early.

North Texas clinched the Conference USA regular season title this weekend with an OT win over Western Kentucky. Creighton and Colorado stumbled with losses to St. John’s and Stanford, respectively.

UNC Greensboro dropped two straight, including a home loss to the aforementioned Furman, to lose the race for the bye in the SoCon and also drop off of our radar. They still have a 19.0% chance per Log5 of winning the conference tourney lottery ticket.
