The scoop: The Bearcats are rocking on the positive side of the daily bracketology dance. Joe Lunardi of ESPN lists UC as “probable” to make the field via his T.O.P. (Tournament Odds Program). Lunardi writes: “These teams have a 65 percent T.O.P or better and should make the tournament provided they suffer no “bad losses” down the stretch: Syracuse, Providence, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati, Connecticut.” Also, Jerry Palm (CBS Sports) and Shelby Mast (USA Today) both list UC among the “last four in” as a potential No.
