We're rapidly running out of bid thieves. There are none left in the B1G, B12 and ACC and the latter has two teams currently on the right side of the bubble who could get knocked out of the NCAAT by COVID.

In the SEC, Ole Miss or Mississippi State could steal a bid, As could Oregon State in the PAC and the Georgetown/Seton Hall winner in the Big East.

The most likely place to find a bid stealer right now would seem to be in the AAC who still have 8 teams alive in their tourney but only two teams (Wichita and Houston) on the right side of the bubble.

Since Villanova lost removing the opportunity for a huge win, they have to win the Big East final now. Beating Georgetown isn’t making up the ground they need to makeup.

I can't speak for the Selection Committee. I go by Quad 1/2 wins. 7 Q1/2 wins among bubble teams is actually pretty good, especially when 3 of them are Quad 1. Among teams ranked 41-60 in the NET, Missouri has 7 Quad 1 wins, Penn State has 3 (but a losing record, and Mississippi and Seton Hall have 3). If you go by Q1/2, Missouri has 9 total, Mississippi and Seton Hall have 7 total with 3 Q1, Duke has 7 total with 2 Q1, and Louisville has 7 total with 1 Q1.

Not so fast, Duke just announced they would play if selected. Which is total crap.
