Bracketology Updates:
Xavier moves into the projected field of 68 following a win at TCU. Both Richmond and Duquesne drop out following losses to inferior opponents, which makes room for USC to move into the projected field. Both Creighton and Indiana move up a seed line each.
Virginia loses to South Carolina moving down to an eight seed, Colorado and Liberty move up a seed line each.
