Louisville:

1. Louisville
16. UMKC (WAC)

8. DePaul
9. Texas A&M

Ames:

5. Maryland
12. Hartford (America East)

4. Iowa State
13. Penn (Ivy)

I’m more than willing to hear arguments that I have Texas A&M too low. With an RPI of 31 and 10 wins in their last 11 games, the Aggies are on the way up and will have plenty of chances to keep rising. They sit at a 9 seed for now with only one win against a projected tournament team, but can make a huge statement coming up with games at Auburn and at home against Kentucky.

Tallahassee:

6. Texas
11. Green Bay (Horizon)

3. Florida State
14. VCU (Atlantic 10)

Eugene:

7. UCF
10. LSU

2. Oregon
15. Portland State (Big Sky)

Is LSU’s game at Tennessee on Sunday a temporary bracket knock-out game? It could be. As shaky as the Vols’ standing is, LSU is in an even tougher spot, clinging to a solid win over Texas A&M as its main justification for being in the field. After the game in Knoxville, the Tigers then host Mississippi State and Missouri, so it doesn’t get any easier.
