Louisville:
1. Louisville (ACC)
16. Southern (SWAC)
8. South Florida
9. Ball State
It’s pretty much impossible to drop a team for losing to UConn in Storrs, so Louisville stays put at the third overall seed. South Florida knows that all too well — the Huskies beat the Bulls by 51, but the Bulls picked up a huge win over Ohio State this week.
Columbus:
4. Ohio State
13. Gonzaga (WCC)
5. Missouri
12. Princeton (Ivy)
More important than the Buckeyes’ loss to South Florida is their four straight wins in Big Ten play. They should breeze through their game at Illinois tonight, but then they have to face a desperate and dangerous Purdue team.
