Lexington:
Louisville:
1. Louisville (ACC)
16. Bethune-Cookman (MEAC)
8. California
9. Ball State
Not much to say here with Louisville, Cal, and Ball State all holding their seeds. We should note, however, that Cal has a tough week ahead with games at USC and UCLA. A pair of losses might knock the Bears down a bit, but one win could do wonders.
Columbia:
4. Missouri
13. Drake (Missouri Valley)
5. Green Bay (Horizon)
12. Fordham (Atlantic 10)
The only seed-line change here is Drake moving from a 14 to a 13. Credit the Bulldogs for taking care of business in-conference, albeit against some weak competition. One game to watch this week from the Columbia quartet: Green Bay has to play at IUPUI. If there’s a stumbling block in the Horizon for the Phoenix, that could be it.
