NCAA Bracket Prediction - 25 Feb

There was very little movement at the top of the bracket, with the only movement among seed lines 1 thru 5 coming from Texas Tech, who moved ahead of Villanova for the final 2 seed. There was a bit of shuffling in the middle, and Oklahoma fell out of the bracket after racking up their 14th loss of the season, which is generally the point where making the tournament as an at-large team becomes impossible. Memphis hopped back in to replace the Sooners after dropping out earlier in the week. 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:
