Here we are, February 17th, 2012. There are 344 Division I college basketball teams these days, and they all have one dream, to be National Champs. Well, every team has that chance before the season starts, unlike in football. But some teams dreams have already been crushed. Here are the teams that could still dream big, just not for this year.
Independents who don't have a conference and will not get an at large bid.
Seattle
Cal State Bakersfield
Longwood
Great West Conference - No automatic Conference Champion bid and will not get at large bid.
Utah Valley
Texas-Pan American
NJIT
North Dakota
Chicago State
Houston Baptist
Ivy League doesn't have Conference Tourney. Regular season champ gets auromatic bid. Team is mathematically eliminated.
Dartmouth
So there is where we stand currently. 334 teams still have a shot with only 23 days remaining until Selection Sunday.

There are actually a few more that are dead. A few conferences don't allow all teams into their conference tourneys. I'll update tonight.
