Jerry Palm has updated his bracket at CBSSports.com heading into the MLK Weekend’s action. The last Palm bracket I reported on was released on January 11th and featured five Big East teams in the field of 68. The total number of teams in Palm’s field is the same, but he has moved another Big East team up to the 1 seed line, making two teams from the league that have half of the 1 seeds in Palm’s bracket.

Joe Lunardi released his updated Bracket Math on Twitter ahead of Saturday’s games. Lunardi has five Big East teams in his field of 68 with Xavier topping the league as a 2 seed.

Butler finds themselves on the 6 line after their rough start to league play and Seton Hall rounds out the Big East contingent as a 10 seed.
