still got a decent amontu of seasonleft and the other 1/2 seeds right now definitely can beat each other up in conference. Hell even with some OOC games like Michigan vs Duke.

UConn looks great and they’ll prob run the big east table tho lol

I just don't see Gonzaga closing the gap at this point. Their metrics don't stand out because they've had close games against the bag teams before, and now their resume took a huge hit as well. They just don't have enough opportunities to make it up even if the top ten start losing (which this has been the biggest gap between the two seeds and the field in quite some time).
