Bracketology 3/9/20

Three more bids were punched yesterday, as Liberty, Bradley and Winthrop locked up their spot in the NCAA tournament. My guess is that after more top seeds go down, Bradley will slide up to a 14 seed and Winthrop will move to a 15. Higher up in the field, Michigan State is knocking on the door of the 2 line after their win over Ohio State, and Illinois is up to the 6 line.

The biggest game of tomorrow night is the Southern Conference championship between Wofford and East Tennessee State. I feel decent that the Buccaneers would get an at-large even with a loss, their SOR and NET are pretty solid. Thus, a Wofford win would take another bid from the bubble.
