Instead he's running against the person who couldn't make up the difference. Sounds like a good thing to me.

After a few more of the March 15 delegates have been allocated (and there are even more yet to be allocated) the math for Sanders to reach 2026 pledged delegates (50% +1 of just the pledged delegates) is now the same 58% of remaining pledged delegates that Hillary needs to reach 2382 total pledged delegates.
2382 pledged delegates would be 50% + 1 of all delegates including the 712 Super Delegates and is an outright win.
