Storrs:

1. Connecticut (AAC)
16. Robert Morris (NEC)

8. California
9. Missouri

Coral Gables:

5. Rutgers
12. Quinnipiac (MAAC)

4. Miami
13. Belmont (OVC)

Two straight losses likely dropped Rutgers from a hosting position, at least for the time being. The Scarlet Knights finish the regular season with a softer (by Big Ten standards) schedule, so as long as they take care of business, they’ll have a chance to pass anyone who slips up. Games at Indiana and Michigan provide the potential stumbling blocks.

Milwaukee:

6. Texas A&M
11. James Madison (Colonial)

3. Marquette (Big East)
14. Hartford (America East)

Palo Alto:

7. Indiana
10. North Carolina

2. Stanford
15. Idaho (Big Sky)

Three losses in five games has probably killed Stanford’s shot at a 1 seed, and that comes at a huge cost. With the path clear for Oregon to play in Portland, Stanford is limited to three regions that will have a definitive home team. Here, that team would be UConn. And to add insult to injury, the Cardinal would have to face a Marquette team in the Sweet 16 that has seemingly forgotten how to lose.
