The Last 4 In were UCLA, St. Bonaventure, Arizona State and Syracuse.
The First Four Out are Baylor, Notre Dame, Saint Mary’s and USC.
“Notre Dame was the team knocked out by the Davidson win, yes,” Bruce Rasmussen, the director of athletics at Creighton University and the chair of the Division I men’s basketball committee, told TBS of Davidson’s win over Rhode Island in the A-10 Tournament final.
Rasmussen added that Syracuse was the very last team in the Big Dance.
