OK, so it's March already and there are questions beginning to circulate. Who will the No. 1 seeds in the tournament be? Well, here is my opinion:
North Carolina
Even though I hate North Carolina, I have to give them a No. 1 seed. They lost four games all year, and they play in the ACC, which is undoubtedly one of the best conferences. Even though they lost yesterday to Florida State, so did Pitt, UConn, Michigan State, Oklahoma, and Kansas. So yeah, they're a No. 1 seed.
Louisville
Louisville is one of the top teams that didn't lose in their conference tourney, which, in my eyes, should give them a No. 1 seed automatically. They play in probably the best conference, the Big East, and they are ranked in the top five in the country. So yeah, Louisville is in.
Memphis
They're on a 25-game winning streak, conference champions, 10-1 on the road, and ranked in the top five. For those reasons, they are going to be a No. 1 seed. Some people would put UConn ...
