Bracketology Update 1/12/15

1 Comment

CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm has released his latest Bracketology on Monday after updating his bracket on Friday morning. The weekend saw a lot of top teams go down so it makes sense Palm would want to update his bracket this soon. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi also released his latest “Bracket Math” Monday after a weekend that saw teams like Duke, Wisconsin and Arizona all lose.

As of last Friday, Palm had 8 Big East teams in the field of 68 but that included DePaul as the automatic qualifier for the league as they entered the weekend in 1st place at 3-0. A drubbing by Villanova on Saturday has dropped the Blue Demons into a 4-way tie for 1st place with Villanova, Seton Hall and Providence. That also means DePaul’s spot in the field of 68 is gone.
