Bracketology - 3/4/24

 At this point in the season, the hope is that the bubble has taken care of itself. The tourney teams have strung together the wins, the non-tourney teams have faltered, and that the cutline has become very clear. It never works out that way.

As of today, the bubble is as chaotic and messy as it normally is. The bubble itself actually isn't awful this season, but the lines separating the tourney and non-tourney teams are near invisible. Including a stunning four Big East teams between the Last Four In and First Four out.

Now, the bubble will clear up slightly, as meh teams will drop games they shouldn't and take themselves out. But, it's going to be a wild race for those final spots, with twists, turns, and a few Q3 Ls.
