Bracketology 2/13/19

Last night was one of the craziest nights of mid-week hoops I can remember. First, there was a fantastic game in Madison where Michigan State won a rockfight over Wisconsin. At the same time, LSU won at the buzzer at Kentucky. In the next window, Michigan lost at home to Penn State (the Nittany Lions' 2nd Big Ten win of the year) and Duke came back from a 20 point deficit in 9 minutes at Louisville. All in all, half of the committee's top 16 seeds have lost since the reveal on Saturday afternoon, muddying the picture at the top significantly. The 1 seeds are solid right now but I debated the order of the 2 seeds quite a bit.

2: Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina, Michigan
3: Kansas, Marquette, Purdue, Houston
4: Nevada, LSU, Texas Tech, Kansas State
5: Wisconsin, Iowa State, Louisville, Maryland
6: Villanova, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Iowa
7: Auburn, Mississippi State, Buffalo, Ohio State
8: Cincinnati, TCU, Mississippi, St. John's
9: Baylor, Washington, Wofford, Syracuse
10: Texas, North Carolina State, Minnesota, VCU
11: Lipscomb, Clemson, Alabama, Arizona State
12: Seton Hall, (Indiana/Oklahoma), (UNC Greensboro/UCF), Belmont
13: New Mexico State, Hofstra, Vermont, Yale
14: South Dakota State, Old Dominion, Radford, Texas State
15: Northern Kentucky, Loyola Chicago, Montana, UC Irvine
16: Sam Houston State, Bucknell, (Robert Morris/Canisius), (Prairie View A&M/Norfolk State)
