Conference tournament Thursday doesn’t disappoint and yesterday was no exception. A few teams essentially wrapped up their bids- I’d count North Carolina, Maryland and Georgia Tech in this group. As far as changes to the field, I moved Syracuse into the field despite their loss to Virginia, replacing Boise State. They could move back out if Utah State beats Colorado State in the Mountain West semis tonight.
