Louisville:

1. Louisville
16. UMKC (WAC)

8. South Dakota State
9. West Virginia

College Park:

5. Drake
12. LSU

4. Maryland
13. Hartford (America East)

Welcome back to hosting territory, Maryland! The Terps have won five in a row, albeit against mostly middle-to-lower tier Big Ten teams, but also own a win over Indiana in that stretch. Maryland will need a few more upper-level Quad 1 wins to keep its spot and will have the opportunity to get one on Sunday when they visit Piscataway.

Milwaukee:

6. Utah
11. Quinnipiac (MAAC)

3. Marquette (Big East)
14. FGCU (ASUN)

Starkville:

7. Texas
10. Michigan

2. Mississippi State (SEC)
15. Radford (Big South)

The Big East is one weird league, but Marquette is dominating it. Under the Golden Eagles in the conference standings sits a mess of good-not-great teams that will all likely find themselves somewhere in the bubble conversation. That makes it tough to gauge exactly how good Marquette’s 10-0 conference mark really is. However, the committee values wins on the road, and the Golden Eagles just won three straight away from home, including two against RPI top 50 teams in Butler and DePaul.
