Thanksgiving week tends to be a terrific time for college basketball, and this year definitely lived up to that. It was a little easy to get lost in all the action.

I didn't blog much today because I just didn't have the time. I know I owe you guys a few game recap posts. Look for those Sunday morning and afternoon. For the time being, please enjoy this newest bracket projection.
