A slight change to how we're formatting the Bracket Watch this week. After the events of last weekend, it's becoming drastically obvious that Gonzaga will not be included in Big East 2.0. So, we're not going to include them here. I believe that they're the only school that's been essentially dropped out of things, so we'll continue on as normal otherwise.
Onwards!
