LAST NIGHT:
SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS 65
Cincinnati Bearcats 57

The win by South Florida put the Bulls into a 3-way tie for the 8th seed, which is the last team to get a Tuesday bye. In the 3-way tiebreaker you use head-to-head match-ups between the 3 teams involved. Notre Dame is 3-1, Cincinnati is 2-2 and South Florida is 1-3. So Notre Dame is the 8th seed as of now, with Cincinnati at 9 and South Florida still at 10.

RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS 68
DePaul Blue Demons 64

Rutgers moves into a tie with Providence for 14th with the win. DePaul remains in last place. Rutgers lost to Providence earlier in the season, therefore remains as the 15th seed.
