Bracketology 2/18/19

The weekend's headliner was in Lexington, where Kentucky ran Tennessee out of the building. The Vols remain on the 1 line for now but have a tough 5 game stretch to end the season, all 5 are against teams that are currently 8 seeds or higher. Elsewhere, the Big 12 race got murkier as Iowa State knocked off Kansas State in Manhattan. That gave Iowa State the Wildcats' former spot on the 4 line. T-Rank gives Kansas State the best odds at a sole or split title, but Kansas still has a 30% chance at a share. Virginia travels to Blacksburg tonight to take on a Virginia Tech team who is better than their 7 seed would indicate. TCU and Kansas State have trap road games at Oklahoma State and West Virginia.
