After one of the best weekend slates in recent memory, there has been some serious movement among the top seed lines in my latest NCAA men's basketball bracket projections.
While the No. 1 seeds remained the same from last week's projections, every other seed line was affected by the crazy week of hoops that just occurred. South Carolina climbed once again, Wisconsin dropped and Memphis seems to forget the season is still going.
As for the NCAA tournament bubble, four new teams entered the field and four more dropped out, showing how just one game can affect a team's season.
