At least we now avoid a zero upside/all downside 5/12 game as long as we don’t screw up this week, and can probably control our own destiny with Purdue as it relatives to head to head seeding with them - since we’ll be matching up in the 4/5 game.
As far as the big tournament 2 seed path, I have to I have to imagine that MSU is now in play to catch us as well though, not likely to happen but they’d almost certainly pass us if they win in Ann Arbor next weekend.
The teams on the 2 line other than Florida have all been fading enough that the hotter teams on the 3/4 line are starting to be a threat (MSU, Nebraska, Texas Tech). Obviously a lot can happen in the next two weeks, but it still kind of feels like we’re going to find that we just needed to get 1 of the 4 coin flip games (Nebraska, MSU, Wisconsin, UCLA) and losing all 4 is going to allow some team to jump us for that last 2 seed.

I think the #1 seed is likely dead, so the focus for me now would be in fending off any of the potentially rising 3 seeds + trying to stay/get ahead of Purdue. Florida is the one we want to lose the most, I’ve also included Gonzaga even though I think they are unlikely to get up to 2.
So the big outcomes for us this week would be these…
Kansas losing at home to Houston tonight
Florida losing at Texas on Wed (by far the most important game for us)
Purdue losing at home to MSU on Thu
Kansas losing at Arizona on Sat
Nebraska losing at USC on Sat
Florida losing at home to Arkansas on Sat
Gonzaga losing at St. Mary’s on Sat
Purdue losing at Ohio St. on Sun
