BRACKET NOTES
Teams are selected, seeded, and bracketed as if today is Selection Sunday.
- Today begins the Championship bubble action. We are already seeing Syracuse put up an impressive opener against NC State. Later today, Xavier will be in must-win mode against Butler and Louisville will take on Duke. We also have long shots like Duke, Stanford and Providence on the court today looking to string together amazing runs.
- Five more tickets were punched last night. Drexel, Oral Roberts and Mount St. Mary’s are programs who were pretty much off the radar all season, and got hot when it mattered most - in March.
New Conference leaders today represented below as Automatic Bids:
CAA - DREXEL (CHAMPIONS)
NEC - MOUNT ST. MARY’S (CHAMPIONS)
Summit - ORAL ROBERTS (CHAMPIONS)
Sun Belt - APPALACHIAN STATE (CHAMPIONS)
Bracket projections are based on 2020-21 NCAA Committee Principles and Selection Process. Projected Conference Champions are based on projected Auto-Bid winners.
Projected At-Large Bids Stolen: 0 (Highly unlikely, annual average is 2.4 per season)
NCAA ALTERNATE TEAMS: Utah State, St. John's, Xavier, Syracuse
NEXT FOUR TEAMS OUT: Saint Louis, Memphis, SMU, Seton Hall
