Wednesday Bracketology: Butler's Win Means No At-Large Changes

Since the major conference tournaments (other than the Big East) are really getting underway Wednesday, I've updated this bracket to reflect the results of Monday and Tuesday's limited slate.

The biggest change is that Gonzaga drops down a line after their loss to St. Mary's in Monday's West Coast final. Butler moves up to the five line to replace them after their dominating Horizon League championship win Tuesday.

Since Seton Hall and South Florida both won their Big East tournament openers, and there weren't any major shocks in the early conference finals, the at-large pool remains the same as it did in Monday's bracket.

I'll have a more complete update on Thursday after the Big 12 opening round and Big East second round.

Here are links to my seed list and tracking spreadsheet.

PAC 10

Wow. According to your tracking sheet and brackets

The 10th place team in the big east would come in and finish 2nd in the Pac 10??? really?

or the 4th in the Mtn West, or 7th in the ACC or 7th in the Big 12.

I mean come on???

Also as an ASU fan I believe we could finish 7th in the Big East.
