Projecting the NCAA tournament field of 68

[JonLP24]

No. 1s
1. Syracuse
2. Kentucky
3. Kansas
4. Missouri
Buzz: Syracuse is in line for just its second No. 1 seed since 1980. Before the season, there was some question as to whether Kentucky could win the SEC. Now the question is whether UK can finish 16-0 in the league.

No. 2s
5. Ohio State
6. Michigan State
7. Duke
8. North Carolina
Buzz: Ohio State still has games remaining against Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State, so the Buckeyes easily could play their way into a No. 1 seed. Duke has been a No. 1 or 2 seed in 13 of the past 15 tournaments.

No. 3s
9. Georgetown
10. Baylor
11. Marquette
12. Michigan
Buzz: Georgetown has five regular-season games left, and three are on the road. The same goes for Marquette, but one of the Golden Eagles’ remaining home games is against the Hoyas. If Michigan can beat visiting Ohio State on Saturday, the Wolverines have a legit shot at the Big Ten title.

No. 4s
13. Louisville
14. Florida
15. Wisconsin
16. UNLV
Buzz: Monday’s loss to Syracuse snapped Louisville’s six-game winning streak. Florida has a big game Saturday when it plays at Arkansas, which is unbeaten at home this season. Wisconsin plays at Michigan State on Thursday night.
