How it was Done:
  • Maintaining the media's interpretation, Kansas and Duke were withdrawn.
  • Elevated each team from last projection respectively.
  • Recalled 1-4 seeds from the Bracket Preview.
  • Re-evaluated 1-11 by previous week, then Team Sheets.
    • Emphasis on Q1 wins and SOS.
  • Listed all current conference leaders and selected them as the projected winners.
    • Conference tournaments took precedent.
  • Bubble tiebreaker determined by Q3/Q4 losses.
  • Referencing NET and KenPom, found the lowest ranked automatic bid and placed at 68.

First Four Out:
  • Memphis, Northern Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi St.

Soapbox: 
  • Cancellation of the tournament is absolute garbage.  TRASH.  JUNK.
    • I wonder if Joe Lunardi will be laid off...
  • I'll add the final bracket at a later time.
