Men’s Bracketology 1/20/2025

This is an exciting bracketology update for me because (a) today is my birthday and (b) I am writing this update from India. I will be in Asia for the next three weeks so my bracketology updates will not be as frequent as they normally are this time of year.

As for actual basketball- I think the most impactful result of the last week might be Creighton’s win at UConn. The Bluejays were not in the bubble picture as of Christmas, but picked up a second Q1A win of the year against the Huskies. UConn, meanwhile, has fallen to a 7 seed.

We have one real hope for a low major at-large team this year- the UC Irvine Anteaters. Their Kenpom rating is into the 50s now, and if they go 12-1 or 13-0 down the stretch they will be sitting very pretty for an at-large.
