Bracketology Update 1/12/15

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.

Here is a breakdown of Palm’s bracket for all Big East teams as of 1/12/15:

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. Palm’s Monday bracket had just 5 Big East teams in the field of 68. I’m not sure what exactly changed between Monday and Friday that was so significant but Palm is now mirroring Lunardi’s latest “Bracket Math” with 8 Big East teams in the NCAA Tournament field with DePaul getting in as a 15 seed as the automatic qualifier because they sit atop the league standings at 3-0 right now.

Here is a breakdown of Palm’s bracket for all Big East teams:
