Well it is that time of the week, where I present my latest bracket projections. No changes among #1 seeds. But there are some changes among some of the conference leaders. Especially in the Southland conference, where New Orleans replaces Sam Houston. While Cal. St. Bakersfield replaces New Mexico St. as the WAC conference leader. Here are my bracket projections.

Here are this week's bracket projections for the 2016-17 NCAA MBK Tournament. The #1 seeds stayed the same. But there are some movers in the brackets. The notable mover is North Carolina, who is the first #2 seed. They are currently the 2 seed in the West, behind Gonzaga.

There are some changes to my bracket. Currently there are two #1 seeds coming from the Big XII, Ten teams representing the ACC. Finally is Michigan St. a 12 seed?
All this and more on my brackets.
