3/6 Men's Basketball Bracketology Breakdown
Last Eight In: Oregon, Southern Miss, Colorado State, South Florida, Connecticut, West Virginia, Texas, Miami (FL)
First Eight Out: North Carolina State, Northwestern, Colorado, Xavier, Seton Hall, Mississippi, Iona, Drexel
VCU was the big mover on Monday night, going from the bubble to an automatic berth with their victory over Drexel in the CAA final. That takes one team off of the bubble from a conference that will now almost certainly just get one team in. Loyola (MD) and Davidson both stayed in the bracket, but now those two will stay for good. South Dakota State is also back in business after top seeded Oral Roberts fell in the Summit League semifinals. With the tournament in South Dakota, the Jackrabbits were arguably favored to beat ORU on Tuesday night anyway. And in the ever changing projected Sun Belt champion, today we’re going with the Mean Green of North Texas…which is good news for Western Kentucky.
