Austin:

2. Texas 
15. Lamar (Southland)

7. Syracuse
10. Florida Gulf Coast (ASUN)

The Longhorns, at 10-2 in the Big 12, are back on the 2 line thanks to four straight wins, with the last two coming against teams in the tournament conversation. Syracuse benefits from a procedural bump and would be a 7 seed despite being an 8 via true rankings.

Columbia:

3. South Carolina
14. Little Rock (Sun Belt)

6. Iowa
11. Central Michigan (MAC)

It’s weird seeing South Carolina lower than a 2 seed, but think of it this way: How great would a Gamecock-Longhorn Sweet 16 game be? Let’s make that happen.
