EDEN PRAIRIE, MN – Here’s our second in-season Field of 68 projection. As a reminder, at this early point of the season this is more of a projection of future results than it is about tournament resume. That will change once we have enough data from actual game results.

For now I’m using KenPom rankings (in parentheses), but I’ll switch to NET rankings once the NCAA starts releasing those on a daily basis. Automatic qualifiers from multiple-bid conferences are noted in bold.

I'll be totally satisfied if Badgers don't make the field. Party time!

Good luck with that.

They won the Maui which already gives them 2 solid neutral court wins over other teams likely in the field (Houston & St Mary's). Agree on the party time sentiment though should they fail to make it.
