Daily Bracketology: Thursday's Field of 65

Daily Bracketology

 

I'm going to be projecting the Tournament field on a close to daily basis for the rest of the year (and no Saturday's since there's little action Friday). This is a field based on how the tourney looks as of this moment. Note that for one-bid leagues, I simply include the conference leader at the time of publishing. In case of ties, I use my projected winner.

 

Arrows indicate team that moved up or down based on last night's performance.

 

Note on Today's Movement: Duke moves into a #1 seed after beating UNC, as the Tar Heels drop to a 2. Syracuse, Saint Joseph's, UNLV, and Oklahoma all lose.  The Syracuse loss drops them into one of the final 4 teams in. Maryland moves into a more comfortable situation by beating BC.  Seton Hall's blowout loss to Notre Dame moves them off the bubble, replaced by Illinois State.  The lone conference lead change is BYU surpassing UNLV.
