Bracketology 1/17/19

The biggest result of the last few days was in Durham where Syracuse got a huge win over Duke. The Orange were solidly outside the field before that win and are solidly inside afterwards. Other bubble teams did not perform as well- Minnesota got run out of the building by Illinois, Clemson still hasn't won a game in the ACC, and UCF dropped a game at Wichita State.


All eyes will be on Virginia/Duke this weekend. Depending on Kansas and Michigan State's results, I may drop the Blue Devils from the 1 line with a loss. A lot of bubble teams have chances to help themselves this weekend- Texas against Oklahoma, Arizona at home against the Oregon schools, and St. John's at Butler.
