Week of 2/23 Bracketologies

[BigTenGuy]

The Michigan State loss seems less harmful than feared to the Gophers' NCAA hosting chances. If I'm reading the various bracketologies correctly (if wrong, please point out), ESPN currently has the Gophers as the # 17 team (a 5 seed 1 spot from hosting), CBS currently has the Gophers as the # 16 team (a 4 seed and hosting), and Autumn Johnson of NCAA/BTN etc. currently has the Gophers as the # 18 team (a 5 seed and 2 spots from hosting).

Gophers actually climbed to #18 in The Athletic New York Times power index. Maybe there was a week lag in going to.press.

Michigan State loss was largely driven by shooting slumps. Bad but not structural team issues.

The win streak helped.
