10 biggest winners in Bracketology from 2022 NCAA Basketball Feast Week

“Feast Week” is an incredible opportunity for many NCAA Basketball teams to bolster their respective resumes for March Madness. There are various non-conference tournaments that feature multiple ranked and top 50 teams, along with talented mid-major teams that can face off against one another.

These past seven days have provided a number of big results, with some teams taking full advantage. Here are 10 NCAA Basketball programs that did the best with the opportunities provided from a resume-building standpoint.

Tennessee Volunteers – Wins over Butler, USC, and Kansas

Beating the likes of Butler and USC are solid victories but nothing overwhelming. But the win over Kansas in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament finals is as good a signature win as one can ask in the non-conference. For a Vols squad that has a good chance to get a top-4 seed come March, beating the Jayhawks will hold up.

Tennessee still has a pair of marquee games coming up in Maryland and Arizona in the non-conference. Spilt those heading into SEC play without losing a “buy game’, they’ll be in great shape.

Arizona Wildcats – Wins over Cincinnati, San Diego State, and Creighton

The winner of the Maui Invitational will always be a “Bracketology Winner” and the No. 1 scoring team in the country has looked like a national title contender this past week in its games. The win over the Bluejays will certainly hold up and considering that the rest of the Pac-12 hasn’t done well in the non-conference, the Wildcats have to take care of business itself in order to get a high seed in March.

Arizona still has Indiana and Tennessee on its non-conference schedule and assuming they at least split those, will be in a commanding position for a top seed in the West Region. And as an added bonus, Gonzaga lost this week and they’re usually the biggest threat for the top spot each March.
