Columbia:
2. South Carolina
15. High Point (Big South)
7. Syracuse
10. Ball State
The Missouri win is great for South Carolina, sure, but let’s be honest: Nothing matters until this Thursday when the Gamecocks host UConn. A win and South Carolina is a 1 seed. Full stop. A loss and it probably doesn’t hurt them much. Maybe they move down a spot or two in the ranking depending on what the other 2 seeds do, but you can’t knock them much for it.
Los Angeles:
3. UCLA
14. Wyoming (Mountain West)
6. Iowa
11. TCU
Five losses in seven games have sent the Hawkeyes all the way down to the 6 line after they had a good argument for a 3 seed just a couple weeks ago. Honestly, the only reason they aren’t worse than that is because they beat Ohio State on Thursday. UCLA, meanwhile, is red-hot and just picked up two wins on the road.
