Welcome back to Bracketology here at ClutchPoints! Listen, I know why you're here… you're looking for the latest Bracketology projections, and I don't want to delay you any further. Just keep in mind, that when the next update comes on the morning of Sunday March 10th, I'm going to be including a little something called “The One-Man NBA Selection Committee,” where I look at the landscape of the NBA and decide, as a one-man selection committee, what the best possible NBA postseason matchups would look like. It's a column I've run in the past that I'm happy to be running back again this year as part of your regularly scheduled Bracketology updates.
Speaking of the schedule, as you'll see, at the bottom of this page, I've included a few more details on what you can expect from each edition of Bracketology over the next ten days leading up to Selection Sunday.
