The guys over at SB Nation are busy trying to predict the upcoming NCAA Tournament field, and they've come out with a new edition of their bracketology that is sure to be obsolete by this time tomorrow; Thursday at the latest.
As you can see, West Virginia still earns a No. 10 seed, but that could all change dramatically with their performance in the Big East Conference Championship, which gets started Tuesday in New York.
As for Pitt and Penn State, it looks like they'll have to win their conference tournaments to earn a spot in the field, but that doesn't really come as much of a surprise.
Here is the complete Bracketology from SB Nation.
