Joe Lunardi updates bracketology, explains what’s at stake in Mississippi State-Alabama game

Joe Lunardi does full bracketology updates every Tuesday and Friday at this point in the season on ESPN.com.

But, on Twitter, he shares updates every day now that we’ve hit the stretch run.

After Tuesday’s games, he had Kentucky slipping from the ranks of the No. 1 seeds after a loss at Tennessee. He also had Florida falling to the “Next Four Out” section after a disappointing loss to Texas A&M.

For Wednesday’s action, Lunardi explained that this is basically a must-win game for Mississippi State at Alabama:

Believe it or not, Vermont can become the first team to clinch an NCAA/NIT bid tonight at New Hampshire; the Catamounts are the America East’s top seed with a victory. ?? pic.twitter.com/ya9Dsj5vhY

The Bulldogs have struggled against quality opponents this year. This would be a great chance to pick up a Quad 1 win over a ranked Alabama squad.

Can they get the job done and return to the tourney bubble? Find out at 7 p.m. Eastern time on ESPN2.
