Some of the biggest brands in college basketball continue to tumble down our projected 68-team field, led by North Carolina and Kansas.
Once one of the No. 1 seeds, UNC is now down to a No. 3 after Wednesday’s road loss to Syracuse. The Tar Heels have dropped three of five games and are only a half-game up in the ACC.
The Jayhawks’ road woes continued with a 29-point loss on Tuesday to Texas Tech. Now a No. 4 seed, Kansas has dropped four in a row away from home and is just 7-5 in a very crowded Big 12, fifth in the conference.
On the flip side, Baylor keeps rising in Big 12 standings and in our field. After handing Oklahoma a 79-62 loss this week, the Bears are up to 18-6 overall, third place in the conference and a No. 2 seed.
Moving in this week with Richmond's loss that knocked them out of the Atlantic 10 lead is Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are aiming for their 25th consecutive tournament appearance.
Last four in
Mississippi, Utah, Boise State, Nevada.
First four out
Cincinnati, Wake Forest, Villanova, Seton Hall.
Next four out
Providence, St. John’s, Colorado, Pittsburgh.
