NCAA Bracket Prediction - 25 Feb

The top of the bracket is all pretty much the same, with none of the 1 thru 4 seeds switching levels, and no new at-large teams joining since Friday's update. One of last week's bubble teams did jump in this week, with Lipscomb taking back the Atlantic Sun lead to knock Liberty out. Here is my full current bracket, with projected conference champs in bold, new teams in italics, rising teams in green, and falling teams in red:

Pick of the Day #103

Lipscomb

The Bisons (yes, they use the incorrect pluralized form of their nickname) face Northern Kentucky tonight, and while Lipscomb is an average team for their conference, the Norse are bringing up the rear, so hopefully home court will be enough for a win tonight.
