Nothing in the bracket changed today except for Yale dropping from a 14 seed to a 15 seed, being replaced by Drake. Should be a more exciting day in bracketology today!

Barring several losses to teams ahead of them in the bracket, despite being first four out, I don't see a viable path for Murray State to steal an at-large bid. On the other hand, if Murray State defeats Belmont, Belmont would not only still be in the field, but would be just ahead of the first four out (barring any other changes top to bottom in the bracket).
