Today’s bracket did not change much. The game that changed things was Cleveland State’s upset of Butler in the Horizon final. That pushes Butler out of the automatic qualifiers and takes one more at-large bid away from a bubble team. For us, that team is Minnesota.

A few changes in the RPI this morning are also interesting. Georgetown dropped out of the Top 50 in RPI, giving all those Big East teams less quality victories. South Carolina also moved into the Top 50, giving the SEC some more quality wins.
