NCAA Bracket Prediction - 6 Mar

The # seeds did not change since my update on Sunday, but two Big East teams moved up to #2 seeds, knocking down Duke and another Big East team, Creighton. Providence and Richmond joined the bracket, along with Tulsa, who is the current leader of the AAC, just ahead of Houston. To make room for those 3, Utah State, Purdue, and Rhode Island are now on the outside, though Utah State is the first team out. Here is my current bracket, with projected conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, falling teams in red, and rising teams in green:
