NCAA Tournament Watch - 30 Jan

In last week's initial tournament watch, only Villanova was listed as a sure thing to make the tournament. This week, 3 other teams have joined the Wildcats in definite status, and those 4 happen to be the same 4 that I have had as projected #1 seeds for the past couple weeks. Here is this week's tournament breakdown by conference, with teams moving up in status in bold and falling teams in italics:
