I hate to second guess myself (because I usually end up regretting it), but I'm changing my pick in Ohio State-Indiana to Indiana.

Nice change of heart! So the home court thing works for bad Big Ten teams too!

OTOH, Penn State lost by 9 at home to Wisconsin.  Glad that wasn't on the list!

This year’s Virginia is more offensively challenged than any Bennett team of recent memory. Just absolutely no threats to score.

It's looking like I should have changed the Michigan State pick too.

Wichita State, which has looked great this season, is now going to OT with UConn, which has looked awful this season.

Its impossible for teams to decline NIT invites IIRC (pre-2005 when it wasn't run by the NCAA, it was a different story).

Clemson beats UNC and Duke back to back and they aren't anywhere near a tourney team.  Though in the ACC this year, who knows?

DePaul really has no choice but to wring off three consecutive home wins against Butler, Creighton and St. Johns. Two will keep them in it, but it would be hard to see more than 7 conference wins. Three absolutely heartbreaks already.

It's time to accept that, one year after making history as the first SEC team in more than half a century to go winless in conference, we're going to do just that again.

The SEC losing streak stands at 23 and counting, back to the 2018 SEC Tournament.

LOL! You are actually favoured in the final game of the season by 0.1 vs. South Carolina! Apparently 3% chance of one win or less. 0-18 would be an incredible accomplishment given the (terrible) quality of the SEC this year. You have four home opportunities against terrible teams to avoid it.

Does that take into account Nesmith being shutdown?  Between that and SC beating UK I can't imagine Vandy being a favorite in any system.
