FRIDAY SUMMARY
New Conference leaders today represented below as Automatic Bids:
SUN BELT - Southern Miss (Outright Champs on final day of season)
Nevada held on to win at Fresno State. The Pack are the final nine-seed this AM, replacing Rutgers from yesterday, who moves to the 10-line.
*Bracketing note: The First Four game between West Virginia and USC had to moved to the 12-line due to an abundance of Big XII teams in the same part of the bracket - TCU the 6-seed in the Midwest (cant go there), and a pair of three-seeds in KSU and ISU prevent the Mountaineers from the East and the West. Finally, Oklahoma State is the 11-seed in the South. Thus, we had to move the game to the 12-seed line and Oral Roberts temporarily moves up as an 11-seed.
