College Basketball Bracketology 2018: Feb. 26
College Basketball Bracketology is back at it, with our latest 2018 March Madness bracket.
College Basketball Bracketology 101 is in session, with Selection Sunday now less than two weeks away. Many of the Conference tournaments are kicking off in a matter of days, with the first teams looking to punch their tickets to the “big dance.”
For some schools, Conference tournaments are a chance to build their resumes for March Madness — while others look to right their wrongs after a disappointing regular season campaign. It’s a new season of sorts, where the unexpected is expected. It’s March Madness!
Teams of the week:
Loyola Ramblers (MVC)
For the first time in more than 30 years, the Loyola Ramblers of Chicago Illinois are regular season champions — they won the 2017-18 Missouri Valley Conference regular season crown. Led by head coach Porter Moser, guards Ben Richardson and Clayton Custer, and their spark plug Donte Ingram; the Ramblers all but assured themselves a spot in the 2018 NCAA tournament — no matter what happens at “Arch Madness” in St. Louis this weekend.
The bracket for #ArchMadness 2018 was announced today and #Loyola will have the top seed in this year's tourney. https://t.co/g3VnMgwbfW #LUCMBB100 #OnwardLU #MVCHoops

Kansas Jayhawks (Big 12)
For the 14th straight season, the Kansas Jayhawks have won the Big 12 regular season title, after a gutsy two-point win in Lubbock over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Head coach Bill Self looks to carry over that success into the Big 12 tournament and beyond, in what’s going to be a wide-open 2018 NCAA tournament field.
