3-9 Committee Meeting:

In the first order of business, BYU, Colorado, Utah State and Vanderbilt were voted off the nomination board, eliminating them from consideration for NCAA Tournament. Of the four, only Utah State is still playing in their conference tourney, but will require the WAC auto bid to get in.

In the next order of business, Syracuse was unanimously elected in the field, as an at large spot is now guaranteed to open up from the Big Ten.

After that, the committee has started work on the S Curve, although the frightening eye injury suffered by Allen Ray will likely knock Nova down a few spots.

Current S Curve:
1. Villanova
2. UConn
3. Duke
4. Ohio State
5. Memphis
6. Texas
7. Illinois
8. UNC
9. LSU
10. Iowa
11. UCLA
12. Pitt
13. Gonzaga
14. West Virginia
15. Tennessee
16. Florida

Georgetown, Michigan State, Boston College and Kansas are leftovers from final vote.
