A few vital Large Ten outcomes from time beyond regulation video games on Tuesday evening led to a shakeup on the No. 2 seed line in CBS Sports activities Bracketology. Purdue rose from a No. 3 seed to a No. 2 seed following its 80-77 win at Nebraska, and Illinois dropped from a No. 2 seed to a No. 3 seed following its 92-90 residence loss to Wisconsin.

The trail to get there was something however easy for the Boilermakers, who squandered a 22-point lead within the second half. However the finish outcome was a seventh Quad 1 victory and seventh win over a staff projected to be an at-large squad within the CBS Sports activities Bracketology subject.

At 20-4 (10-3 Large Ten), Purdue has ample alternative down the stretch to proceed constructing its resume. Six of its remaining seven common season video games are towards projected NCAA Event groups. Whereas there’s nonetheless a major hole between the Boilermakers and the No. 1 seeds, they’re additionally a staff with a excessive seeding flooring due to what they’ve achieved already and since any losses incurred from right here on out would seemingly be Quad 1 or 2 defeats.

Illinois falls

Although Illinois (20-5, 11-3 Large Ten) now has 5 losses, our mannequin remains to be excessive on the Illini over the lengthy haul and tasks they may rise to the No. 2 line by Choice Sunday. For now, consecutive time beyond regulation losses by a mixed 5 factors have taken a toll on Illinois’ resume. Illinois nonetheless charges because the nation’s No. 6 staff at KenPom. However its No. 9 rating in wins above bubble (WAB) displays a resume that’s extra in keeping with a No. 3 seed.

Assessing the Atlantic 10’s prospects

George Mason entered Tuesday evening’s sport at Richmond inside hanging distance of the at-large dialogue due to its top-50 resume. However after taking an 82-70 Quad 3 loss, the Patriots now have an excellent thinner margin for error. At simply 3-3 over its final six video games, George Mason is trending within the unsuitable path.

Nevertheless, all hope shouldn’t be misplaced for the Atlantic 10’s hopes of manufacturing a couple of bid. VCU is coming into its Wednesday evening sport at La Salle within the “First 4 Out” class. At 18-6 and 9-2 within the A-10, the Rams are within the hunt as a staff that with not less than some likelihood to hitch Atlantic 10 stalwart Saint Louis (23-1, 11-0) within the subject. 

Nevertheless, the surest path for the A-10 to two-bid standing after having only one staff chosen in two of the previous three seasons would seemingly be for somebody apart from Saint Louis to win the convention match. With the Billikens firmly in at-large territory, this league may find yourself producing a “bid thief.” George Mason and VCU are each adequate to enter the convention match on the unsuitable facet of the bubble, maintain the trophy on the tip after which be harmful within the Large Dance.
