If based off the current Net Ranking, I assigned the closest city to each team. The seeds that matter are Purdue (12), LSU(13), and ISU(14). Right now Purdue would get DSM, LSU gets Hartford, and ISU ends up SLC. If ISU was 12, then Purdue and LSU, then ISU gets DSM, Purdue gets Hartford, and LSU gets SLC. Better Yet, the #12 and 13 slots get KC for regional (not taking into account teams being moved from regions due to duplication's).
So in other words, ISU has plenty to play for for the remainder of the season.
All of this is hypothetical.
The 4th seed being the MW determines the 12 and 13 getting the MW. Since Duke, Gonzaga, and Virginia have been rotating the top 3 spots, and they are going to want the South, East, and West, that probably means the MW will just default to the number 4 seed, whoever it is. That means the 12 and 13 seeds by default get KC as well.
