March 8, 2015 Bracketology

Here is the current bracket updated through games played on March 7, 2015.  Murray St. currently is one of the first teams out.  That may seem bizarre but they actually can not play their way because they lost in the conference championship tonight.  What that means is essentially the only way they could get in is if everyone ahead of them and below them lost to the point where they could receive a bid.  Essentially what I am saying is it is nearly impossible for them to receive an at-large bid but because of the current spot they are in they will appear in the last 4 because of their profile even though they have an extremely small chance to jump anyone.
