Locks: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Tennessee</p>
The teams behind the big three are not making this very easy. It's very possible this league only gets four teams in if the three locks all make the semis. Kentucky will be a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs.</p>
SHOULD BE IN</p>
None</p>
IN THE MIX</p>
Florida (21-11, 9-7, RPI: 51, SOS: 32) did something very few teams did on Thursday: win a game it had to. Now it's less clear whether a loss to Mississippi State would condemn the Gators to the NIT. Win the game and they're dancing.
GW: Michigan State (N), Tennessee, Florida St., plus Mississippi State and at Mississippi (bubble purposes)
BL: South Alabama; at Georgia</p>
Mississippi (21-9, 9-7, RPI: 56, SOS: 73) is going to have to beat Tennessee in its quarterfinal. They have two wins better than anything Mississippi State has to offer, so despite the getting sweep by the Bulldogs, the Rebels are in slightly better shape heading into Friday.
GW: K-State (N), UTEP (with Derrick Caracter)
BL: Arkansas (plus swept by Miss. State for bubble purposes)</p>
Mississippi State (21-10, 9-7, RPI: 68, SOS: 103) gets its shot at the Gators and needs to win this one, and probably one more, to feel like they can get in.
GW: Old Dominion, sweep of Ole Miss (bubble purposes)
BL: Rider, at Arkansas, at Auburn, Florida (for bubble purposes)</p>
