[RSSBot]

StatSeed is StatSheet's postseason projections for all of Division I, including the NCAA Tournament, National Invitation Tournament (NIT), College Basketball Invitational (CBI), and the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). Read more about how StatSeed is calculated.
StatSheet now projects Colorado as an NIT three seed. The Buffaloes are #82 in the StatSheet StatRank with a 20-11 overall record and an 11-7 record in the Pac 12.
During its last four games, Colorado notched a quality win against RPI #37 California and a win against Utah but also dropped one against RPI #54 Oregon and a bad loss to RPI #146 Oregon State.
Colorado is weak against top competition, with a 4-8 record against the RPI Top 100 that includes a 1-3 record against the RPI Top 50 and an 0-1 record against AP ranked teams. While the Buffaloes have a single quality win against RPI #37 California, they're also hampered by three bad losses including RPI #146 Oregon State, RPI #110 UCLA, and RPI #112 Maryland.
The last four teams into the NCAA Tournament with at-large bids are Seton Hall (20-12, 8-10 Big East, StatRank #60), NC State (20-11, 9-7 ACC, StatRank #52), Oregon (22-8, 13-5 Pac 12, StatRank #54), and Texas (19-12, 9-9 Big 12, StatRank #58).
The first four teams out are Brigham Young (25-8, 12-4 West Coast, StatRank #48), Cincinnati (22-9, 12-6 Big East, StatRank #69), Mississippi State (21-10, 8-8 SEC, StatRank #76), and Tennessee (18-13, 10-6 SEC, StatRank #85).
The next four out are Illinois (17-14, 6-12 Big Ten, StatRank #77), Iona (25-7, 15-3 MAAC, StatRank #47), LSU (17-13, 7-9 SEC, StatRank #83), and St. Joseph's (PA) (20-12, 9-7 A-10, StatRank #52).[TABLE="class: tablepad"]
