NCAA Bracket Prediction - 12 Mar

The biggest change in today's bracket is Houston moving up to a 3-seed after beating Cincinnati on the road, knocking SEC leader LSU down to a 4-seed. No bubble teams moved in or out, but there should be plenty of movement over the next few days as bigger conference tournaments get into full swing. Here is my full current bracket, with conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, rising teams in green, and falling teams in red:
