Teams that have been eliminated from the tourney since last week:

Virginia Tech: Two losses last week to Maryland and Virginia means the Hokies are going to the NIT.

Marquette: A loss to TCU, and an overtime win against East Carolina is not enough to keep this bubble team in the tourney this week.

Arizona State: An embarrassing loss to USC and getting blown out at UCLA knocks this Pac 10 team out.

Air Force: They only had one game last week, and beat Colorado State. It came down to one of the last picks, but I decided to include UTEP instead.

Rider: Two losses to Iona, and Manhattan knocked this team out of first place in their conference.

University of Missouri Kansas City: A loss to Oakland, which is one of the lower teams in the Mid Continent Conference, gave Oral Roberts the lead in the conference.
