The One Seed Breakdown

With UCONN and Pitt both losing today, the 1 seed picture suddenly becomes extremely murky. Time for a Breakdown!

1. UNC - A lock for a 1 seed.

2. Memphis - Will earn a 1 seed if they win C-USA tournament.

3. Michigan State - Will earn a 1 seed if they win the Big 10 tournament.

4. Louisville - Will earn a 1 seed with a win over Villanova tomorrow.

5. Duke/Wake Forest - Will earn a 1 seed if they win the ACC tournament, and one of the 3 previous things does not occur.

6. Pitt - Will earn a 1 seed if 2 of the previous 4 things do not occur.

7. UConn - Will earn a 1 seed if 3 of the 4 things Numbered 2-5 do not occur. (Confusing, eh?)

8. Washington, Missouri, Villanova - If none of things listed in steps 2-5 occur, and any of these teams win their conference tournament, they could be in line for a 1 seed.

10. If none of the things listed in steps 2-5, or 8 occur, I would give the final one seed to Memphis.
It's amazing that 11 teams could still conceivably get a 1 seed. Washington, Missouri and Villanova are EXTREME reaches.
