Bracketology: UConn squanders No. 1 seed, Auburn falls out of latest NCAA Tournament projection
Wednesday night's results proved consequential on the No. 1 seed line and on the bubble
FOX Sports' bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy offers up his latest men's NCAA Tournament projections.
All the Iowa Hawkeyes have to do down the stretch is win. Simple enough, right?
Houston enters as the fourth No. 1 seed in the CBS Sports Bracketology model and can validate that with a statement road win inside one of college basketball's most hostile environments. A win would be the most impressive victory of the season for the Cougars, who lag slightly behind UConn in resume-based metrics.
But as far as what Iowa has done so far, McCollum has checked a lot of boxes. Three Quad I wins, a top-10 win, a .731 overall winning percentage, a March Madness ticket very much in reach, giving reason for fans to buy into what is being built. Iowa has come a long way in a short time.
It would take a lot for the Iowa Hawkeyes to squander their chances of making the NCAA Tournament.
For the first time ever this year, the NCAA will host a national championship for women’s wrestling. The finals are March 6-7 in Coralville, Iowa.
There's a change at the top of the latest USA TODAY Sports bracketology with UConn replacing Houston on the No. 1 seed line.
