Bracketology Update 1/9/15

Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm both released updated brackets on Monday this week. Lunardi released his “Bracket Math” on Thursday and now Palm has decided to update his bracket again on Friday morning.

Last night there were 5 games in addition to Providence’s own at Butler that could help boost the Friars’ RPI. The results were about as good as could be asked for at 5-1, including Providence’s fantastic come from behind road win at Butler. Stony Brook took care of Columbia, 70-61, on the road. In a battle of two not very good ACC teams, Florida State defeated Virginia Tech, 86-75, at home. Kentucky had their first true scare of the season against Ole Miss with the Rebels taking the Wildcats to overtime. Kentucky did prevail though, 89-86. Albany edged New Hampshire by the score of 64-62. The only blemish on the night was Boston College who coughed up a 10 point lead with just over 3 minutes remaining in regulation at home to ultimately fall in overtime against ACC foe Pittsburgh, 61-60.
