Kentucky---------#1 overall in the Midwest
Wisconsin--------#1 in the South
Villanova----------#1 in the East
Arizona------------#1 in the West

Just my predictions, but I feel Duke will lose at UNC and Virginia will lose at UL tonight.
Furthermore, I have a hunch UNC ends up winning the ACC tourney, with Virginia going out early. The fact that Virginia is still down a man will keep the committee from ultimately giving them a #1 seed. I know it seems impossible that the ACC wouldn't get at least (1) #1 seed, but I think in the end that's what it will be.

I think the #2 seed line ends up looking like this:

Kansas------------#2 in the Midwest
Gonzaga----------#2 in the South
Duke---------------#2 in the East
Virginia------------#2 in the West

Arizona has 3 terrible losses. Plus, if you give Arizona the 1 out west then the fraud Gonzaga will get the 2 out there.

Not sure they'll need to. Lose one more, and it's a push, lose 2 more, and they're going to a 2 line.
People are skeptical to put Wisconsin on the 2 line because in both losses, Wiscy was missing players (both of whom they have back now).
Virginia lost the game to Duke when UVA still had Anderson, who is far and away their best player, and he may not be back until midway through the NCAA tournament.
Arizona is somewhat perceived as the second best team in the country because they're playing very well right now, better than everybody besides Kentucky.
Villanova looks unstoppable in the Big East, and shouldn't lose again. That said, if Duke wins tonight (because you never know about rivalry games), i can see them winning out up until NCAA tournament time, so they may take Nova's spot on the one line.

I have Kentucky, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Duke as the one seeds.

Villanova isn't coming off that #1 seed line unless they lose, I can just about guarantee you that.

They are #3 RPI and have as many quality wins as anybody.

Yes, I know the RPI is bs, but that is something they use anyway.

Unless Virginia or Duke lose their first tournament game, both are #1 seeds IMO.

The others are chasing them.

How about Kansas in our bracket? Wouldn't that be nice?

I would like to see this happen:

Midwest
1. UK
2. KU- loses at OU, wins Big 12 tourney.

East
1. Nova- wins Big East tourney.
2. Duke- loses at UNC and/or loses in ACC tourney, falls to the 2 seed line.

South
1. UW- wins Big Ten tourney.
2. Zona- loses in PAC-12 tourney.

West
1. UVA- loses at UofL and in the ACC tourney, falls to the last 1 seed.
2. Zaga- wins WCC tourney.

That puts UW, Zona, and Duke on the opposite side of the field from us. We have to play just one of those three to win the title. They are the three most dangerous teams, IMHO. KU is our 2 and likely loses early. I'd rather have Nova on our side than UVA, but if UVA is the 1 in the East, I think they place Duke in our bracket because they won't put the top two ACC teams in the same region.

I'd love to see that on Selection Sunday.

I'd take that all day and twice on Sundays, especially next Sunday.

You do not have to worry about the Zags losing, as St. Mary's already lost in the quarter finals in the HS tourney they play in, and maybe BYU will lose tonight as well to make it really easy on the fighting Wiltjers'!

I can't imagine the committee putting us and Duke in the same bracket.

If Gonzaga gets a 2, then it is a no-brainer that they would be the "weakest" 2 seed and thus should be in UK's bracket.

However, the selection committee has so many ulterior motives, it's inevitable that UK will NOT get Gonzaga as their 2, unfortunately.

I can. Two of the greatest regional finals in the history of the tourney were UK vs. Duke. The ratings would be through the roof. I would not be surprised to see this.

We will have Duke or Wisconsin as our 2 seed most likely.

Agreed on Arizona playing great ball. they've outscored their in-conference opponents by 0.29 points per trip (points per possession), the highest major-conference mark. Over the last month (since it's last loss), they've won their last 8 games by an average of 23 points, which included a big road victory in Utah who hadn't lost at home in a year.

i fully expect UVA to bow out early in the ACC tourney and get a 2 seed. Wisconsin wins the Big10 and gets that seed.
UK -- Gonzaga
Duke-- Zona
Nova-- KU
Wisconsin -- UVA

As of this morning I'm still going with Kentucky, Duke, Virginia, and Villanova. If UVa loses in the ACCT, particularly to anyone other than Duke then Wisconsin slides in, but they have a tough game at Ohio St today, and may face Maryland in the B10 title game. If UVa and Wisconsin lose again then Arizona could get a 1 out West. Really doesn't matter, at worst they're going to be 2 in LA. I also think with KU and Wichita St losing yesterday Maryland and N Iowa now have a shot at a 2 especially if Maryland were to make the B10T final and beat Wisconsin. I'm fairly impressed with the Terps this year.

Yep this is exactly as i see it as well .I don't see anyway UVA gets to the ACC title game as they just aren't very good without Anderson and even if he was back this weekend it will take awhile to get back in game shape. So therefore i think Wisconsin gets that seed , if not Zona then.

If UVa losses in the ACCT, particularly to anyone but Duke then they likely lose their #1 seed. As it stands right now though there's no way I think you give it to Wisconsin instead. UVa has the higher RPI, and they have one less loss. Both teams lost to Duke at home, but UVa's 2nd loss was on the road to a ranked UL team that finished 4th in the ACC. Wisconsin 3rd loss was a really bad one, to Rutgers which finished dead last in the B10. That alone makes me give the nod to UVa.
