First off, let’s jump in with projected Brackets. Despite Purdue dropping a couple of games in a rapidly-diminishing B1G, Lunardi still has Purdue as a 1-seed, though by the numbers, you can make just as compelling a case for the UCLA Bruins or the Texas Longhorns. And it is still very possible that two wins by UT gives the B12 another 1-seed, BTW.
But what is really interesting here are the bubble teams and what they foretell next week when the Tourney begins in Nashville.

On March 1, Lunardi already had Auburn among the bubble teams before another loss on Wednesday, with the Tigers are squarely on the Bubble and No.
