2011 NCAA Tournament Projections

As we head into the final week in January, we are now down to just 2 undefeated teams in the NCAA. Ohio St. rallied from 8 down to beat Illinois over the weekend while San Diego St. improved their mark to 20-0. These teams face perhaps their toughest tests of the season this week. The Buckeyes host Purdue on Tuesday night and the Aztecs head to Provo to face #9 BYU. Will a win at BYU move San Diego St. into a #1 seed? We will have to wait and see.
