There is a new bracket Tuesday morning with only a couple of minor changes. Alcorn State is now in the automatic qualifier position in the SWAC after taking over first place by itself in that conference Monday night. There is also a little shuffling among the No. 10 seeds after San Diego State won at Wyoming.

There is plenty of potential for a shakeup Tuesday though. There are several big games, headlined by two games between a current No. 2 seed and a No. 3 seed.

No. 3 seed Purdue travels to No. 2 seed Wisconsin looking to avenge its only home loss of the season and to keep its conference championship hopes alive. The Badgers would clinch a share of the Big Ten title with a win.

Providence has already won the Big East regular season title, but is also looking for revenge when the Friars travel to Villanova. The Wildcats won the first meeting in Providence on Feb. 15. Providence is also looking for respect as that has been slow to come by despite its accomplishments.

We also have a No. 1 seed on the road Tuesday. Arizona is looking to clinch an outright Pac-12 title when it visits USC. Normally, this would be part of a two-game set with UCLA, but this is a rescheduled game from when USC had a COVID-19 issue in January.

The other two No. 2 seeds are on the road Tuesday, although in games that appear to be less menacing. You cannot ever take conference road games lightly though. Kansas is at TCU and Duke travels to Pittsburgh.
