As 2023 comes to a close, and with conference play heating up, I thought this would be the perfect time to release the first HN Bracketology of the season. We’re at the point in the season where teams all have enough games under their belts to fully evaluate them, so it’s time that projected brackets can be at least somewhat accurate.
This projected bracket was based on several factors: wins in each quadrant, overall strength of schedule, eye test and what is projected to happen in the coming months. All of these factors resulted in what my projected bracket looks like today. Of course this will change drastically as we move closer to the tournament, and teams both rise and fall, but this is the most accurate projection I can give now. Stay tuned as this bracket will be updated every Sunday night!
