Men’s Bracketology 3/2/26

It was a crazy weekend near the top of the bracket- I have no idea what to do between 8th and 14th on my seed list. I went with the perhaps controversial choice of giving the last 2 seed to Texas Tech, because I think the committee will really love their quartet of high Q1-A wins (at Arizona, at Iowa State, vs. Duke, vs. Houston). But I could see any number of teams in that spot.

Bubble teams overall had a poor weekend with UCLA, Auburn, Indiana, Virginia Tech, San Diego State, Cal, USC and Seton Hall all losing. The biggest winner was clearly Ohio State, who picked up their first Q1 win of the season over Purdue and moves in for now.
