There wasn't a lot of movement since the last bracket update as most teams took some time off for finals and there is a little lull between preconference tournaments and the start of conference play.

Some big news is that Syracuse lost Eric Devendorf for the season with a torn ACL. They were 7-3 with a road win against Virginia on their resume but now they will have to prove themselves all over again and they will have plenty of chances in during Big East play. It will be interesting to see how the Orange do since they don't have much depth and Devendorf was the only upperclassmen in the rotation.
