Stanford down to #28 in RPI. After playing Oregon State (RPI #226, 3-19) next week I expect the RPI to be around #38 or #39. Beyond #40 is getting into tournament bubble range. There are about 45 or so at-large qualifiers. Stanford could dip below #45 after playing Cal (RPI #244). IMO it's not a sure thing Stanford makes the tournament. They probably will based on reputation and if Miner/Kipp are not out for an extended period of time.
At this point, with the mess they are in right now, I would be happy for them to just be able to sneak into the NCAA Tournament. If they are at full strength during the last 2 weeks of PAC 12 play and entering the NCAAs, those Regional 1 or 2 seeds better watch out if Stanford is in their 1st and 2nd Round mini-bracket....
