Bracketology: Final Update!
The Bracketology field is based on how the tourney looks "as of this moment." Arrows indicate the amount of seeds a team moved since the last update. (Just because a team won or lost doesn't necessarily mean they'll move substantially though.)
Why should you care what I have to say? Did you know, last year I was considered to have one of the Top 2 or 3 brackets (depending on the scoring rubric) amongst 53 national experts including Joe Lunardi, Gary Parrish and the like).
Movement:
Previous update was March 15th: 3:30 PM. Arrows indicate movement by seed. Two arrows equals a change of two seeds, etc..
Update as of 3/15, 5:30 PM (Final Update!)
The Final Update before the Selection show. Pretty standard bracket on the most part with two differences.. I'm going with Duke as a #1 seed and Wisconsin on the outside of the field looking in, along with St Mary's, who doesn't get in. Creighton & Maryland are the last two teams in..
