NCAA Bracket Prediction - 12 Mar

Three of the #1 seeds are pretty much locked up at this point, and the fourth one currently belongs to Tennessee, but North Carolina and Arizona could both be in play for it by the weekend. Villanova lost their 14th game of the season, and no team with 14 losses has ever been selected as an at-large, so they exit the bracket today, replaced by Drake, who won the Missouri Valley title and stole a bid away from other at-large teams, since Indiana State remains in the bracket even after losing. Here is my current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, conference champs in bold, and new teams in italics:
