NCAA Bracket Prediction - 27 Feb

There was very little movement at the top of the bracket, with only Alabama and Marquette switching spots between the 2 and 3 seeds among the top 16 teams in the entire bracket. Down along the bubble, there was a lot of movement, with Drake, Ole Miss, Cincinnati, and Texas A&M falling from the bracket, making room for Providence, Colorado, and Wake Forest, while Richmond took over the Atlantic 10 lead to steal the other spot. Here is my full current bracket:
