Saint Mary's remains in the bracket for now, but drops into the First Four, which is not a great place to be this early in championship week, when a lot of teams below you can still pick up quality wins. The rematch between Creighton and Boise State was fixed, but there are still numerous conference conflicts in the same halves of regions that would require significant seed manipulation to try to avoid. Until Thursday's update, when we start seeing things really re-shape, we'll try to keep true to seed ordering to give the most representative picture.
