Joe Lunardi updated his bracketology projections for the 2023 NCAA Tournament after the sample size for college basketball teams throughout the country continues to grow. Alabama is skyrocketing up the projections after Nate Oats’ merry band of freshmen continues to play at a really high level. Even in Saturday’s 100-90 loss to Gonzaga, Alabama showed just how good it can be with a few minor tweaks.
“We’ve talked about the fact that when you get ranked like we are right now and you go to places — we’ve been there before two years ago — people storm the court when they beat you and it’s a big deal,” Oats said. “I don’t wanna put a ton of emphasis on any of that, to be honest with you. Our guys know we’ve got a bullseye on our back. They know it.”
Indiana dipped after what was a pair of frustrating losses for the Hoosiers to Arizona and Kansas.
Here’s a look at Lunardi’s projection for the 2023 NCAA Tournament and our thoughts on every single matchup:
