8-seed Drake beat 1-seed Northern Iowa in the Valley quarterfinals.

Do the Panthers get an at-large bid making the bubble that much smaller?

Looking at their quadrant records and their NET, it seems like an obvious yes.

But Lunardi had them as an 11-seed (i.e., on equal footing with the last teams in) before they suffered this bad loss, so maybe not.

The consensus I'm seeing from some guys I follow on stuff like this is that UNI is in big trouble. Seems like in recent memory the committee has been very hesitant to expand 1 bid leagues to 2 when upsets occur in these tournaments. Lipscomb was in a similar position last year and got snubbed.
