Kansas is looking like a safe bet to be a one seed, as they could afford a loss and still hold the slot. A loss in the regular season paired with a Baylor victory in the Big 12 tournament is probably the only thing that could change that. But they better watch out for SMU here, as the Mustangs look like a threat to make it to the Elite Eight in this one. Florida State better be careful with Florida Gulf Coast, as they are no pushovers. The bottom of the bracket looks to be setting up an Arizona and Florida showdown, which would certainly be a fun one to watch.
First and second round locations: 1/16 and 8/9 (Tulsa), 5/12 and 4/13 (Orlando), 6/11 and 3/14 (Orlando), 7/10 and 2/15 (Sacramento)
