With the NBA Draft complete I owe you a Post-NBA Draft BP68, and that's what you're getting in this post. This will be the last bracket projection until the Post-Midnight Madness BP68, which will be in mid-October. After that the next bracket projection will be published in mid-November.
Posting will continue for the next few months like it's been the past two months. There will be some transfer/signing news, and I'll take some looks at big signings from the class of 2012. Things will pick up in early October.

Poor Fighting Irish... their players have to go to the tourney AND sit home!
As always, I hope the Wildcats (that's you, Villanova) figure it out.
Thanks!
Oops, sorry about that. I had put Notre Dame out of the field and then forgot to delete them from there. I did mean to have them in the Field of 68... that's what I get for not having an editor.
Nova certainly has the talent, but they're very young and untested. If the 2011 recruiting class pans out then they'll go Dancing for sure.
