One seeds: Connecticut, Mississippi State, Louisville, Oregon

Not sure how one could argue with any of the three unbeatens, all with signature wins. But as Kelly Graves noted on our podcast, the only two losses Oregon has all year came to Mississippi State and Louisville. So only unbeatens have beaten the Ducks, and both those games were on the road. Oregon somehow sat outside the preseason top ten in polls despite reaching the Elite Eight last year and adding talent to a remarkable young roster. No one is sleeping on them anymore.
