SB nation is now in the business of releasing a new Bracketology every day during the NCAA Conference tournaments, and as you may expect, there are a lot of permutations based on the dozens of games each day. Here is their new 2012 Bracketology, which features a slight change for one of our local teams.
Despite not playing for the last few days, VCU moves up to a No. 11 seed in the Big Dance. For those of you paying attention, that is the same seed they had last year when they ran to the NCAA Tournament. As for Georgetown, they are still in the tournament as a No. 3 seed.
Here is the complete bracketology.
