Bracket Projection: 3/5

I realized I put the wrong date Thursday's bracket, which put it in the wrong column on BracketMatrix, but oh well. Today we have the correct date, just in time for tomorrow's full post to make it obsolete. Jacksonville State punches the first official ticket...right into a 16 seed play-in game. And the Horizon League's top two teams--Valparaiso and Oakland--both lost in big upset games, paving the way for...Northern Kentucky? Maybe? It will be interesting to see how the rest of that tournament shakes out. Other movement: Duke flipped with UCLA, Oklahoma State flipped with Dayton, Xavier flipped with Arkansas, and California dropped out, being replaced with Wake Forest. Full bracket update coming tomorrow, as usual.
