Here is the latest projection of what the field will be on March 11.
* Indicates the team has won their conference tournament.

1 seeds: Syracuse, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina
Both Syracuse & Kentucky finished their seasons 30-1. Syracuse is a lock for the East Regional in Boston. Kentucky a lock for the South Regional in Atlanta. Kansas continues to play their best basketball of the season and has won 8 straight. North Carolina picked up a dominating road victory over Duke on Saturday.
2 seeds: Ohio St, Michigan St, Missouri, Duke
Ohio St. picked up two hard fought road wins this week. Beating both Northwestern & Michigan State in the final seconds. Their win over Michigan State dramatically helps their resume, which also includes a November win over Duke. Michigan St. dominated the first half against the Buckeyes but fell in the final moments 72-70. The Spartans were also beaten at Indiana on Tuesday, but their RPI ranking of 3 will keep them in the mix for a #1 seed next Sunday if they can win the Big 10 tournament. Missouri took care of business this week and beat Iowa St. at home 78-72. The Tigers are the #2 seed in the Big 12 tournament and would like nothing more than a rubber match with rival Kansas. Duke's very solid, but very unsual season continued Saturday night in another home loss, this time to North Carolina. While Duke was 8-0 on the road in the ACC, they were only 5-3 at home. The Blue Devils must get more consistent play inside from the Plumlee brothers & Ryan Kelly, as they have become reliant on the three-point shot.
3 seeds: Marquette, Georgetown, Michigan, Indiana
Marquette had their five game winning streak snapped at Cincinnati on Tuesday, but bounced back with a solid 83-69 win over #12 Georgetown. They enter the Big East tournament as the #2 seed, and receive a double-bye into the quarterfinals. Georgetown handled #19 Notre Dame at home, but lost at Marquette Saturday. They enter the Big East tournament as the #5 seed, but if they capture at least two wins - they should be safe for a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Ironically, Ohio St's win over Michigan St. gave Michigan a share of the Big 10 regular season title. A #2 seed in the NCAA tournament is not out of the question if the Wolverines beat Ohio St. & Michigan St. on their way to a Big 10 tournament title. Same goes for Indiana who beat Michigan St. & Purdue last week. They enter the Big 10 tournament as the #5 seed, but if they run the table, a #2 seed for the NCAA tourney is a possibility.
4 seeds: Wisconsin, Baylor, Florida St, Vanderbilt

Missouri took care of business this week and beat Iowa St. at home 78-72. The Tigers are the #2 seed in the Big 12 tournament and would like nothing more than a rubber match with rival Kansas. Duke's very solid, but very unsual season continued Saturday night in another home loss, this time to North Carolina. While Duke was 8-0 on the road in the ACC, they were only 5-3 at home. The Blue Devils must get more consistent play inside from the Plumlee brothers & Ryan Kelly, as they have become reliant on the three-point shot.
3 seeds: Marquette, Georgetown, Michigan, Indiana
Marquette had their five game winning streak snapped at Cincinnati on Tuesday, but bounced back with a solid 83-69 win over #12 Georgetown. They enter the Big East tournament as the #2 seed, and receive a double-bye into the quarterfinals. Georgetown handled #19 Notre Dame at home, but lost at Marquette Saturday. They enter the Big East tournament as the #5 seed, but if they capture at least two wins - they should be safe for a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Ironically, Ohio St's win over Michigan St. gave Michigan a share of the Big 10 regular season title. A #2 seed in the NCAA tournament is not out of the question if the Wolverines beat Ohio St. & Michigan St. on their way to a Big 10 tournament title. Same goes for Indiana who beat Michigan St. & Purdue last week. They enter the Big 10 tournament as the #5 seed, but if they run the table, a #2 seed for the NCAA tourney is a possibility.

Be sure to check out all the brackets in the Bracket Matrix: http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm
1 seeds: Syracuse, Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina
Both Syracuse & Kentucky finished their seasons 30-1. Syracuse is a lock for the East regional in Boston. Kentucky a lock for the South Regional in Atlanta. Kansas continues to play their best basketball of the season and has won 8 straight. North Carolina picked up a dominating road victory over Duke on Saturday.
2 seeds: Ohio St, Michigan St, Missouri, Duke
Ohio St. picked up two hard fought road wins this week. Beating both Northwestern & Michigan State in the final seconds. Their win over Michigan State dramatically helps their resume, which also includes a November win over Duke. Michigan St. dominated the first half against the Buckeyes but fell in the final moments 72-70. The Spartans were also beaten at Indiana on Tuesday, but their RPI ranking of 3 will keep them in the mix for a #1 seed next Sunday if they can win the Big 10 tournament. Missouri took care of business this week and beat Iowa St. at home 78-72. The Tigers are the #2 seed in the Big 12 tournament and would like nothing more than a rubber match with rival Kansas.

3/3/12 Bracket
Selection Sunday is a little over 1 week away.
We will be updating the bracket daily during this stretch.
Here is the latest projection of what the field will be on March 11.
* Indicates the team is new to the bracket.
Be sure to check out all the brackets in the Bracket Matrix: http://bracketproject.50webs.com/matrix.htm
1 seeds: Syracuse, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan St.
Syracuse stands at an impressive 29-1 as they get ready to host #18 Louisville in their regular season finale. The Orange have already secured a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament, and will be placed in the Boston/East region. Kentucky is also 29-1 and travels to #13 Florida on Sunday. The Wildcats have locked up a #1 seed as well. They will head to the Atlanta/Southeast region. Kansas beat Oklahoma St. on Monday night and clinched the outright Big 12 title. They finish up the regular season with a home game against Texas, who is the only team to beat the Jayhawks at home in the last four seasons. Michigan St. was beaten badly at #20 Indiana on Tuesday night, but can still clinch the outright Big 10 title with a win over Ohio St. on Sunday. While most brackets will push Michigan St. down to the #2 line, keep in mind that the committee will most likely reward the regular season champion - from the nation's best conference. Also, the Spartans have played the second most difficult schedule in the nation this year.
2 seeds: Duke, North Carolina, Missouri, Ohio St
Duke survived yet another home loss, by beating Virginia Tech in overtime on Saturday. Tuesday night they beat Wake Forest, now they come home to battle arch rival #6 UNC. North Carolina took care of business at beating Maryland Wednesday, before traveling to Duke. The ACC's crown will be on the line Saturday, and the winner will keep hopes alive for a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Missouri lost two hard fought games last week to Kansas St. & Kansas, but showed that they will be a dangerous team come tournament time. The Tigers outlasted Iowa St on Wednesday and now travel to struggling Texas Tech. Ohio St. picked up a hard fought win on the road at Northwestern. Now they travel to Michigan St. where a road win would give them a share of the Big 10 title and a likely #2 seed in the NCAA tournament.
3 seeds: Marquette, Georgetown, Michigan, Baylor
Marquette lost at Cincinnati on Tuesday night but still has earned a impressive 13-4 Big East record. They host #12 Georgetown on Saturday, with the winner earning the #2 seed in the Big East tournament next week. Georgetown picked up a solid home win over Notre Dame on Monday night 59-41. The win helped them keep pace for a #3 seed not only in the Big East tourney, but in the NCAA tournament as well. Michigan lost their first home game of the season on Saturday to Purdue, but bounced back nicely with a solid road win at Illinois on Thursday. Saturday they visit Penn St. where a win would most likely lock up the #2 seed in Big 10 tournament. Baylor faces Iowa St. on the road in their regular season finale. This will be a key game for the Bears as they try to wrap up third place in the Big 12. A loss would likely put Baylor on the #4 seed line for the big dance.
