Last Four out: Georgia, Mississippi St., Southern Miss., Missouri

Games today and their impact: The ACC (UNC vs. Duke), Big 12 (Oklahoma vs. Texas) and SEC (Kentucky vs. Mississippi) conference championships do not matter because both teams participating are locks for the Big Dance. The Big 10 championship has a small affect on what could happen today. If Indiana wins Iowa will remain an IN Bubble team. If Iowa wins, both Iowa and Indiana will be locks for the dance, thus possibly taking away one more at-large slot.
