College basketball fans are a week away from the NCAA Tournament Selection Show. Between now and then, many fans will play the role of bracketologist. Tim Krueger, co-host of the Bluejay Banter radio show, is one such fan. Krueger has conducted his own bracket projections for years, even before ESPN’s Joe Lunardi gave such a practice the term Bracketology. Lunardi even praised Krueger’s efforts as a guest on Banter.
Each Monday leading up to Selection Sunday, Krueger will provide White & Blue Review his updated bracket predictions. Bluejay Banter can be heard every Monday from 5-6PM on Big Sports 590 AM, with podcasts of the show available via www.BigSports590.com.
In addition to today, Tim will provide updated brackets this Thursday and Sunday afternoon before the NCAA Selection Show.
Previous Brackets:

Krueger’s Notes About the Bracket:
- It seems no one at the bottom half the bracket seems to want to be in the tourney. Most teams have given the committee a reason to exclude them rather than a reason to invite them to the dance.
- One team not in the category: Notre Dame. The Irish have gone from the wrong side of the bubble to safely in during the past week.
- Still time for A-10, Big East, and CUSA teams to play their way in.
- Look for my next update on Thursday
