Bracketology 3/4/20

Purdue moves back into the field after a big win at Iowa takes the Boilermakers to 16-14 overall. After a four game skid in mid-February, they will probably be in with two more wins- one against Rutgers on Saturday, and one in the Big Ten Tournament. The other big bubble winner is Texas, who beat Oklahoma at the buzzer to move up out of the First Four. The Longhorns have picked up 3 quad 1 wins in their last 3 games, and have no bad losses.

At the top, the 2 through 4 lines remain quite fluid. I likely would've moved Kentucky to the 2 line if they had beaten Tennessee at home, but instead Maryland holds onto the last spot. Michigan State is making a late charge and could move up to the 2 line if they win the Big Ten Tournament.
