There was a little movement in the key on Monday, especially near the bottom. Tuesday can bring more fireworks because there are some huge games at the top of the bracket.
We were offered a double prize on Tuesday. It starts early, at 5 pm ET, with seed No. 3 overall, Baylor, traveling to face West Virginia, seed No. 2. Even if Baylor will be himself again after the long break at COVID, this would be a big challenge. The Mountaineers hope to push the fourth seed # 1.
The team currently in that location may not be very happy with their conference programmer. Illinois travels to Ann Arbor, Michigan to face Michigan’s No. 2 overall at 7:00 pm Eastern Time. As if a trip to the conference leader was not enough, Illini will also play Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday. Great way to end the regular season. It could be a preview of some games from next week’s Big Ten Tournament.

Monday movement
Monday started with Dayton beating the Atlantic 10 champion St. Boaventure, leaving the Bonnies in a row. They are classified in such a way that they would be one of the last four teams in the bracket if they were a general candidate, but as the main seed in the A-10 tournament, they are currently designed in Bracketology as automatic qualifiers.
North Carolina made a valiant recovery at the end of the game in Syracuse, but ended up losing 72-70. This moved Tar Heels down a few positions and back to the last four on the field.
The most shocking result of the night was Rutgers having their doors blown up in Nebraska. The Scarlet Knights lost 72-51 to the Cornhuskers on a day when Nebraska scorer Teddy Allen left the program.
Rutgers dropped to eighth after the loss, which was his first bad loss of the season.
