Selection Sunday is just four weeks away and the NCAA men's tournament committee offered an early preview at how the pairings for this year's March Madness might look when it revealed its top 16 seeds Saturday.
The four No. 1 selections were not a surprise with Purdue, Connecticut, Houston and Arizona being placed in the Midwest, East, South and West regions, respectively. That's the same positions they occupy in this week's USA TODAY Sports Bracketology prediction for the field of 68.
The Big 12, which is projected to send the most teams to the tournament this season, lead the top 16 seeds with four spots in the reveal. The SEC and Big Ten have three teams in the 16 team reveal.
