Today’s Bracketology for February 23, 2021
Notes:
- Impressive wins for Duke, USC, and Oklahoma St. last night, while Drake and Texas St. held serve.
- Syracuse drops from the play-in round last four in to the back end of the first four out with the loss at Duke. Duke moves up two spots on the seed list and remains knocking on the bubble door.
- By virtue of its win over Oregon, USC jumps onto the 4-seed line replacing Texas Tech, who drops to the back end of the 5-seed line after losing in OT to Oklahoma St. Oklahoma St. jumps from the 10-line to the 9-line, effectively swapping places with Oregon, which drops back after losing to USC.
- With Syracuse falling out, Minnesota claims a spot in the play-in round last four in.
- In seeding adjustments, Seton Hall and St. Bonaventure have swapped places on the 10-seed and 11-seed lines.
