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.
