NCAA Bracket Prediction - 16 Mar

Tomorrow is Selection Sunday, so the bracket is nearing completion. After a couple of crazy days of action, there have been a couple changes in the bracket. VCU lost in their conference tournament, but remain in the field, taking a bid away from a bubble team, and Nebraska's great run in the Big 10 tourney put them into the field, with Indiana and Creighton falling out as a result of those two teams' entry. I will post my final bracket prediction tomorrow afternoon, so keep an eye out. Here is my current bracket prediction, with conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, rising teams in green, and falling teams in red:
