Lunardi is in Indianapolis doing a mock draft with the committee right now and we were in as a 7 seed. Also were one of the 29 locks at this point. Tech game hurt our seeding probably, but still good to be considered a lock. We still have time to play ourselves into a better seed.
 
What that means is that we're a lock if the season ended today (and Lunardi is correct). If we lose our remaining games, we'd be 18-14 with a 0% chance of making the Tournament. We have to hope the debacle against TTech was a one-time thing, and I believe it was. I look for us to come out very hungry tomorrow and play the kind of game I expected us to play against TTech.
 
I hate the term lock at this point. There are very few teams that would still be in the tournament if they lost out, or nearly lost out the rest of the way. That isn't likely, but that isn't what "lock" means. Lock means there is nothing that could happen, not reasonably happen, that would keep us out. We lose out, we don't make the tourney, so we aren't a lock.

That said, I'm still VERY comfortable that we'll get in. Even finishing up 2-4, which puts us at 9-9, I still think we'd get in. I don't see us finishing any worse than that (don't see us finishing that badly, either).

Edit: I see that WF explained it above too.
