UALR replaces UT-Arlington as the Sun Belt qualifier. San Diego State replaces UNLV as the Mountain West qualifier, but because SDSU is good enough for an at-large, that results in one more available at-large entry.
Florida State, Seton Hall and Wisconsin move into the at-larges; Butler and Evansville drop out.

The automatically-generated bracket looks like this: remember that chosen locations are not something to be relied upon, because my program does not quite follow all the rules in every case. It does appear that today's bracket is legal, but something to keep in mind.
