Three teams secured bids last night.  Western Kentucky and North Dakota State were top seeds that won their conference tourneys and Cleveland State scored a mild upset over Butler to take the Horizon bid.  The Vikings' victory means that St. Mary's falls off the dance card for the moment. 

Today means a lot for Big East teams in terms of seeding.  Notre Dame must also continue to win to have any chance at all of getting considered for an at-large bid.  At this point they aren't even on the chart.
