The inimitable Ken Pomeroy pulled out a stat late Friday night that may have occurred only to him. Saturday’s college basketball slate featured 150 games, which will be the busiest day of the year. It’s no surprise that a day with that many games led to turnover in our working field of 68 here in the SI.com Bracket Watch.
Two of the one seeds in our most recent bracket—Michigan and Virginia—lost on Saturday. It was a guarantee that at least one would with Duke hosting Virginia, but the former’s win in that game meant that three teams that have lived on the top line since we unveiled our first bracket of 2019 suffered losses in the previous week.
