Bracketology Update: March 10, 2021

A new bracketology comes after five more teams punched their tickets to the NCAA Tournament. Gonzaga got tested real hard last night against BYU. But the Bulldogs pulled out another win. Gonzaga enters the NCAA Tournament undefeated.

There will be no more conference championships until Saturday. Now the bubble teams and bid-stealers will take over the show. Three wonderful days of basketball featuring teams playing for their tournament lives. Have fun.

As always, check us all out on the Bracket Matrix as it continues to grow by the day.
