Storrs:
1. Connecticut (AAC)
16. Liberty (Big South)
8. Virginia
9. California
The good news for Virginia is that it’s beating all the teams it should beat. The bad news is that the Cavaliers haven’t beaten a team currently in the tournament field in almost six weeks. A home game against Notre Dame on Friday is a golden opportunity.
College Station:
4. Texas A&M
13. Northern Colorado (Big Sky)
5. Duke
12. UAB (Conference USA)
Texas A&M has four games left before the SEC Tournament and should be favored three of them. If the Aggies can reach the postseason on a bit of a run, they should have no problem holding on to a protected seed.
