Men’s Bracketology 2/21/2026

The selection committee reveals their top 16 teams this afternoon. I’m most interested to see what they choose to do with Texas Tech. If Texas Tech was healthy, I’d have them 14 or 15 overall. However, based on the precedent the committee has set re: injuries, JT Toppin’s ACL tear should drop them considerably.

It’s a massive day of hoops, starting at the top of the bracket with Michigan/Duke and Arizona/Houston. The seed list will be all shaken up for my Monday morning update. Enjoy!
