And since this question has been asked in a previous thread, this is my S-curve, and it is updated: Best team at the top; worst at the bottom.
Records have not been changed since Monday except for new teams in the bracket.

1-seed
3 North Carolina 26-3
1 Pittsburgh 27-3
x7 Louisville 25-5
4 Michigan State 25-5

It was UNC, Michigan State, Louisville, and Pittsburgh before the Tar Heels and Spartans lost.

2-seed
6 Connecticut 27-3
5 Oklahoma 27-4
z8 Memphis 28-3
x2 Duke 25-6

I think if Duke wins the ACC tournament, they might just move up to the fourth 1-seed. The Blue Devils are #2 in RPI despite being third in the ACC. The Spartans move down to the top 2-seed.

3-seed
9 Kansas 25-6
x10 Missouri 24-6
11 Syracuse 22-8
17 Florida State 23-8

The Seminoles move up to the last 3-seed and drop Villanova to the top 4-seed.

5-seed
21 West Virginia 21-10
30 Purdue 22-9
16 Xavier 24-6

LSU moves out from the 5-seed. Purdue and Xavier shift up a spot in the 5-seed line, and Clemson moves from a 6-seed to the 5-seed.
