Bracketology 3/6/2023

Most of Sunday’s bubble action was in the Big Ten. Rutgers continued their slide with a home loss to Northwestern. I had the Scarlet Knights as a 5 seed a month ago and they are now my last team in the field. Moving into the field is Penn State, who has pulled off dramatic back to back Q1 wins to sneak into the field. I will be at the Big Ten Tournament this week at the United Center to watch all the bubble action.

The next two nights are light on bubble action, but things will kick back into high gear on Wednesday. In the meantime, I’ll be watching to see if Charleston and Oral Roberts can win their conference tournaments- both teams have a small, but nonzero chance at an at-large.
