I don’t have much substance to offer amid the tourney mayhem. I’ll get something up Sunday with comments about the last few days in addition to some bracket predictions. A couple of early ones: the Valley will get five bids and Gonzaga will slip to a 3 seed.

For those of you wanting a tourney prediction method or something along those lines, check out what the folks at TeamRankings are doing with BracketBrains. A portion of the proceeds go to a good cause – me!

As a belated gift to SEC fans, Dave Gallagher submitted these log5-based chances on the SEC Tournament.
