100+ Value Add Updated Projections Yield 7-seed Marquette vs. 10-seed Alabama in Opening Round

Marquette's rounding out of the roster with the great pickup in Koby McEwen to red shirt for a year is one of 117 updates to the www.valueaddbasketball.com that leaves Marquette as the projected top 7-seed to face 10-seed Alabama in the opening round game. We updated based on all the notes left in Column A of the google sheet so those comments are now cleared out and you can add new notes next to players.

Keep in mind that teams can move up by signing transfers, JUCOs or remaining freshmen, many can still drop for anyone who goes to the NBA draft or leaves (if they have not signed an agent they are still included in the totals below. For example, Keita Bates-Diop signed with an agent to cost Ohio State 10.66 in Value Add, however, they made up most of that when they followed up by getting CJ Walker from Florida State and Keyshawn Woods from Wake Forest.

The following are the updated teams that project to make the tournament and their first round game. Below that is a list of all the players for whom there were adjustments this week starting with Indiana's Juwan Morgan who projects to be the best player in the country if he does not leave for the NBA (he has entered the address but not signed an agent).
