Conference tournaments under way

The Eye projection model is a quantitative approach that uses a formula derived from the overall seed list released the last two years.  The latest iteration has Dayton pushing close to the 1 line and Villanova surging.  San Diego State and Gonzaga still weighed down by exceptionally weak strength of schedule.      

Bubble Talk

Bubble teams Utah State and Richmond switch places with Arizona State and Texas.  Purdue still on the outside looking in.
