A hot start for the University of Toledo men’s basketball team has drawn the attention of those who try to predict the makeup of the NCAA tournament field.
The Rockets, 9-3 overall and 4-0 in the Mid-American Conference following an 84-82 victory Tuesday at Kent State, was the pick for the conference’s automatic berth on bracketmatrix.com, a site that compiles bracketology projection.
The bracketmatrix site has UT installed as a No. 13 seed, with the Rockets appearing in 28 out of the 36 brackets tracked. Winthrop (Big South projected automatic), Georgia State (Sun Belt projected automatic), and Wright State (Horizon League projected automatic) are the other No.
