Murphy has been making tournament predictions since 2010. He will be updating
his predictions frequently until the Committee’s selection on Sunday, March
17th.
Note:
Conference leaders are determined by the team with the fewest conference
losses, with ties broken by the higher RPI ranking. Or the highest remaining
seed in the conference tournament.
