NCAA Bracket Prediction - 4 Mar

Arizona beat USC and Stanford since I moved them down to a 2-seed on Monday, which was enough for them to take their #1 seed back from Gonzaga, who slips back down a notch. There are also 2 teams moving up to the #2 line, with Wisconsin and Duke both riding hot streaks, with the Badgers climbing over Purdue by beating them head to head. Here is my latest bracket, with rising teams in green, falling teams in red, new teams in italics, and projected conference champs in bold:
