Indiana was a big winner this week. Conversely, Michigan has fallen off the brackets and will have work to do in the Big Ten tourney. So, for now, the Big Ten is a six-bid league.

JERRY PALM
No. 1 Michigan State vs. No. 16 Hampton, West
No. 4 Indiana vs. No. 13 Yale, South
No. 4 Purdue vs. No. 13 Hofstra, Midwest
No. 4 Maryland vs. No. 13 Akron, East
No. 6 Iowa vs. No. 11 , Cincinnati/Vanderbilt play-in, West
No. 8 Wisconsin vs. No. 8 Saint Joseph?s, South

As you can see, Michigan is out of the bracket, listed among Palm?s ?first four out.? Last week, the Wolverines were a No. 10 and slotted for a play-in game. Michigan State and Purdue didn?t see their seeds change. Maryland and Iowa dropped a spot, while Indiana and Wisconsin moved up a spot.
