After losing 105-70 to UNC, UCSB dropped from their #6 ranking in the Mid Major Top 25 to #8. The only other team in the Top 25 from the Big (Little) West is Cal State Fullerton, coming in at #25. Also, no other Big (Little) West teams are even receiving votes.
For those of you who believe the Gauchos are still alive for an at-large berth (do you really exist?) if the Gauchos pull off the typical Big West Tournament semi-final exit, this does not bode well. If the mid-major poll voters, including 2 Big (Little) West coaches and 4 total California school voters, aren't putting Big West members into the Top 25 or Others Receiving Votes Category, UCSB has their work cut out for them.
In other words, UCSB must win the Conference Tournament to get into the Tournament. Otherwise, NIT here we come.
