Here's my bracket with most of Sunday's games having been completed.
Quite a few upsets in the conference tournaments already with Indiana State and NC-Asheville upsetting the #1 seeds in their conference in the final.
Watch out for VCU as well, they are back on the bubble with their win over George Mason in the CAA Semifinals and may very well steal a bid from somebody.
Please let me know if I missed any rematches. I was traveling today and while my plane had wifi, I had the bracket set without rematches until all the craziness of today's games.
With the suspension of Brandon Davies, BYU is out as a number 1 seed and Notre Dame takes their place.
AUTO BIDS are in CAPS and at this point are either the conference tournament winner, #1 seed in the conference tournament or the highest RPI team remaining in the conference tournament.
Winner of the East Region plays the winner of the West Region; winner of the Southeast Region plays the winner of the Southwest Region.
Note: Vanderbilt and West Virginia were swapped seeds to fit the Principles and Procedures.
