NCAA Bracket Prediction - 3 Mar

There have been some big games over the past couple of days that caused some changes in the bracket, the biggest of which is Illinois jumping over Ohio State to take the final 1-seed after beating Michigan yesterday. Wright State lost in the Horizon Conference tournament, dropping them from the field, and Seton Hall lost again, which dropped them from the field in favor of a streaking Michigan State team. Here is my full current bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
