The now-annual Bracket Buster weekend is a great late-season non-conference bounty, especially for mid-major hoops fans. This year’s matchups will be announced on Monday, and today we take a look at the top five games we hope to see scheduled. That, plus a look back and a look forward, after the updated top 15.
Top Five Potential Bracketbuster Matchups
This year, there are 22 Bracketbuster squads in the RPI top 100, with 13 slated to play home games and nine set to hit the road. This creates a slight discrepancy between the strength of the home teams and the road teams, which is magnified when you consider that the breakdown is 12 to six among teams in the top 85. Nonetheless, there are some great potential matchups.
