Lipscomb made that 42 by winning the Atlantic Sun.

Of those 42, 33 have already been eliminated.

The remaining 9:

UC-Riverside - 8th Seed in Big West Tourney, plays tomorrow
Bethune-Cookman - 2nd Seed in MEAC Tourney, plays today
Savannah State - 3rd Seed in MEAC Tourney, plays tomorrow
Central Arkansas - 7th Seed in Southland Tourney, plays today

And the WAC 5:

Utah Valley, UMKC, GCU, Chicago State and UTRGV. WAC Tourney starts tomorrow.

Well Savannah St. will be off that list either way next year when they drop to D-II.
We will need to add. N.Alabama, Cal Baptist, UCSD who won't be eligible for a few years.
Of the 42 left 22 have lost the conference championship game that would have got them in. B.-Cookman, UMES, Stetson, Chicago St., Denver, Omaha, PUFW, S.Dakota, W.Illinois, Maine, Hartford, St.Francis(NY), Sacred Heart, UT-Martin, Gardner-Webb, High Point, USC-Upstate, Elon, William & Mary, Quinnipiac, Citadel, Grambling.
