The biggest story is at the top of the bracket, where Baylor has moved up to the #1 overall seed after their massive win at Kansas. Their lone blemish is a loss to Washington in November, and that win in the Phog is the best any team has picked up all season.
Looking at the bids by conference, the Big Ten currently has a record 12 teams in the field. It's quite unlikely that all 12 are going to make it, but the conference remains as strong as it's ever been. On the other hand, we have the ACC. It has 3 protected seeds, but no other teams in the field as Virginia and NC State fall out in this update. I think they probably end up with 4 or 5 bids, but it's crazy to think that a team could get a double bye in the ACC tournament and not make the NCAAs.
The next update will come Monday afternoon, and updates will be at least twice a week from there on out.
