Well, it seems we have a few uninvited guests.

That's right - the bid thieves have arrived. Since the last update, Gonzaga fell to Portland in the WCC Championship Game while South Florida bowed out to Wichita State in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament, which was ultimately won by East Carolina.

Since both Gonzaga and South Florida were NCAA Tournament locks, this means both of their conferences went from one to two-bid leagues. In doing so, a pair of at-large teams lost their spots in the 68-team field. To Mississippi State and Arkansas, who join Georgia in an SEC-heavy First Four Out, I offer my condolences.

Following Kansas' disastrous loss to TCU in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament, the Jayhawks are now the final team in the field. Are any more bid thieves lurking?

Let's start in their own conference, where Kansas State and TCU are still alive despite being auto-bid or bust. Kansas State has the much better chance between the two, but face a long road that begins with top-seed Texas.

Middle Tennessee has dominated C-USA all season long and could receive an at-large bid should they fail to win their conference tournament. However, a loss more likely means the Blue Raiders are out entirely.

Lastly, the Ivy League presents an interesting situation. Both Columbia and Princeton are bubble teams in the current field. Princeton currently has the auto bid but needs to win the Ivy League Tournament. Columbia, on the other hand, may be able to afford a loss.

Outside of the bubble, Texas will be looking to move from a No. 4 to a No. 3 seed over the next few days while Oklahoma is trying to hold onto their fragile position as a host for the opening weekend of March Madness.
