February 3, 2010 Bracket

Top teams are starting to fall, so it's now becoming harder to determine seeding. But with conference play now in full swing, it's becoming easier to separate contenders from pretenders. Still a lot of teams to watch as the final weeks begin before conference tournaments start. Those will be doubly important this year.
