AT LARGE TEAMS OUT FROM LAST WEEK

• New Mexico

BIGGEST MOVERS:

• Gonzaga (UP) - A great way to move quickly up the bubble ranks is to win to Net 1 Road games in the same way week.  Gonzaga did just that by beating San Francisco and Saint Mary's to close the regular season.  They went from a 'Next Four Out' to a 9 Seed thanks to a LOT of other bubble teams sliding last week.
• Wisconsin (DOWN)- A great way to lose multiple seed lines in the same week is to lose a home game and road game to a 100+ Net team.  Wisconsin did just that by losing at Indiana and then coming home and losing to Illinois Saturday.  They did this at the same time as teams below them were racking up big Quad 1 wins.  The slumping Badgers fell 3 Seeds lines (From a 4 to a Seven).
• Boise State and Nevada - UP 2 Seed Lines
