In a significant shift in the latest Bracketology predicted NCAA Tournament bracket, Tennessee has reasserted itself as a top seed after a dramatic 79-76 victory against Alabama. This result not only secures the Volunteers a No. 1 seed but also propels Houston into the third overall position, while Alabama has slipped to the top No. 2 seed.

In recent developments, Kentucky suffered a home loss to Auburn (94-78) amid concerns over the injury to their second leading scorer, Jaxson Robinson. His absence could affect Kentucky’s tournament position if they struggle in the coming games. Additionally, Michigan State, with nine Quad 1 wins, is eyeing a possible top-seed position as they close out their regular season against high-ranking opponents.
