Bracketology 2/24/20
After a month of no changes at the top, a crazy weekend sees 4 of the top 5 teams on my seed list lose. Kansas has taken over the #1 overall seed from Baylor, but the Bears remain in the South region. I would've given Maryland the last #1 seed and the East region if they had beaten Ohio State, but San Diego State remains at the end of the 1 line. Creighton also moves up to the 2 line for the first time all year after a dominant win over Butler.
Towards the bubble, Stanford has stopped the bleeding with a sweep of their Washington road trip and claims the last spot in the field. The Cardinal's biggest resume strength is their NET rating of 31. Oklahoma has now lost 3 straight and it doesn't get any easier for the Sooners as they face Texas Tech and West Virginia next. The most fascinating bubble team will continue to be Purdue- the Boilers need to take at least 2 of their final 3 before the Big Ten Tournament.
