Not alot of movement towards the top of the bracket. Tennessee has reclaimed a #1 seed defeating Kentucky, for whom they took their seeding from. Iowa State with a loss to Texas moved them to the 6 seed line, being replaced on the 5 line by Maryland. Iowa is starting to see a slow descent down the seeding to a 7, with Buffalo finally cracking back into a top 6 seed. A Baylor loss finally crept Auburn back into the top 7. UCF with a huge win on the road at Houston moves into pretty safer territory on the bubble and moved them to a 10 seed with single digit potential. Not only UCF, but Utah State with a statement win over Nevada puts themselves somewhat safely into the field. A MWC finals appearance should most likely see them into the field of 68. Florida losing to Georgia knocked them just inside the last four byes. With a loss to Georgetown, Seton Hall moved out of the last four in and Alabama, despite losing to LSU today, moved into the final spot. If any bubble team slips up over the next few days, the next time in line is the small conference SoCon's Furman. Should be an exciting last two weeks before the tourney!
