ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his 13th Bracketology of the season on Friday, and his latest projections featured very little movement among the bracket’s top 12 teams.
There were some geographical changes on the bracket’s top line this week, but Duke, Michigan State, Tennessee and Virginia all held on to their No. 1 rankings. It’s the second consecutive bracket to feature that quartet of 1-seeds, whose combined record on the season is 68-6.
The bracket’s 2-line is exactly the same as it was at the start of the week, with Kentucky, Kansas, Gonzaga and Michigan clinging to their seeds in the East, South, West and Midwest, respectively.
