PG Randy Rodgers (Auburn)- redshirting
Since all 4 teams are into conference tournament play, we'll just start back at the top with Randy and the Tigers.
3/10/16- SEC First Round vs. (10) Georgia (L 95-65)
Wow, definitely not the way the Tigers wanted to go out in the SEC Tournament. Here's hoping that 30 point loss doesn't cost them a bid after all.
C David Ginsberg (Army)
3/11/16- Patriot Championship vs. (5) Lafayette (L 60-50), Ugh, it just wasn't meant to be tonight for the Cadets, who got 5 points 11 rebounds, an assist and a block from Ginsberg. Unfortunately, than 40-22 halftime deficit was too much to overcome and Army will end their season with an 11-21 record.
C Jace Hunter (Xavier)- redshirting
3/11/16- A-Ten Quarterfinals vs. (5) George Washington (L 78-72). Ugh, yet another favored team going down in the first game of their conference tournament. Their fate is in the hands of the selection committee.
PF Ivan Carrillo (North Carolina)- redshirting
3/11/16- ACC Quarterfinals vs. (6) N.C. State (L 100-94). Well I guess the Tarheels didn't want to feel left out on the loser parade this week, as they also go down in their first game of their conference tourney. With 2 straight losses, what will the selection committee do with them?
Here's a look at our final regular season edition of the polls:

Instead of bouncing between 3 and 4 like Xavier was earlier in the season, now they are bouncing between 6 and 8. Not where you want to be.
