Bracketology: Updated S-Curve And Bracket For March 9, 2011

Thanks to Butler's win over Milwaukee on Tuesday night, the Panthers were unable to earn a second bid for the Horizon and another at-large opened up. That is held by Colorado, for now, as they take on an Iowa State team they lost to one week ago in this afternoon's Big 12 First Round.

Yet again, I have a full update with narrative at SB Nation. Today's S-curve is below and the full bracket is after the jump. Here's a link to Tuesday's post for comparison.
