Now that the 2013 NCAA Tournament field is set, it’s time for our resident bracketologist to switch from projection mode to prognostication mode.
The moment of truth has almost arrived. Here's our bracketologist's last attempt at projecting the NCAA Tournament field of 68.
On this busy Saturday, 14 teams will clinch bids for the 2013 NCAA Tournament, and several bubble teams will get another chance to make a positive impression upon the Selection Committee.
Blogging the Bracket provides a list of the sites for the 2013 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, accompanied by a rundown of the recent cities and arenas that have hosted the event.
Before the field of 68 is revealed, 31 teams will earn their conferences' automatic bids. Blogging The Bracket has information on each conference tournament -- sites, dates, and even the names of the unlucky teams who will be frozen out.
On Thursday, every major conference tournament, except for the Mountain West, was in action. That means there was finally some movement on the bubble and at the top of the field. Friday should be even more significant.
Bucknell clinched the only automatic bid on offer on Wednesday night, while Cincinnati and Villanova took major steps toward earning an at-large. As the major conference tournaments really get started today, more teams get the chance to do the same.
Regulars Davidson, Iona and Western Kentucky all clinched bids on Monday night, while James Madison ended a 19-season drought. However, Gonzaga may have had the biggest night of all in claiming the WCC crown and staking its claim for a No. 1 seed.
The Bluejays' and Flames' tournament wins on Sunday mean a total of five teams have booked an NCAA place, with five more to come on Monday. On the bubble, Virginia beat Maryland in overtime, but the Cavaliers remain out for now.
Florida Gulf Coast, Harvard and Belmont all clinched NCAA bids on Saturday, while several bubble teams, including Kentucky, attempted to show the Committee that they are worthy of an at-large.
Heading into the final weekend of the regular season and first weekend of Championship Week, much remains to be decided. Duke holds the No. 1 overall seed for the moment, but that could change after Saturday's visit to Chapel Hill.
While there's still a lot to argue about on the bracket's top line, the race for at-large bids is showing some signs of stability.
Indiana, Duke, Gonzaga and Miami lead the way two weeks and two days from Selection Sunday, but expect plenty of changes between now and then.
Indiana remains the No. 1 overall seed in Chris Dobbertean's Tuesday bracket, but the race for the other three spots on the top line will take many twists and turns in the final three weeks of the 2012-13 season.
Most of the cities on the list are familiar venues for NCAA Tournament action, but not one. New York City and Madison Square Garden will host the 2014 East Regional, the actual Big Apple's (not New Jersey's) first tournament action since 1961.
The Bulldogs, who thrashed Santa Clara on Wednesday night, replace Florida as a top seed in Chris Dobbertean's Friday bracket projection. However, Gonzaga's fate as a member of the No. 1s is very much up in the air.
One month from today, the First Four tips off in Dayton. The 2012 National Champions have a lot of work to do to earn even one of those four last chance at-large spots.
The Hoosiers replace Duke as the top overall seed after the Blue Devils' unflattering win over North Carolina. As for the Gators, their big win over Kentucky propelled them above a Michigan team that was thrashed in East Lansing.
On the second Tuesday of February, two ACC teams and two Big Ten teams hold down the four number one seeds in Chris Dobbertean's projected bracket.
