There's been so much parity in college basketball this season that even the No. 1 seeds aren't solid on the morning of Selection Sunday.
Louisville's Big East titles sure up its spot. And North Carolina, agree or disagree, is still the frontrunner to win the national title.
But the final two No. 1 seeds are still to be decided.
One will go to UConn and/or Pitt out of the Big East. For me, I think Pitt should get the nod over UConn. The Panthers beat the Huskies twice this season. The only thing going against Pitt's bid for a top seed is a ho-hum non-conference schedule.
The Panthers have wins over Texas Tech, Duquesne, Florida State and Washington State which won't turn heads with the selection committee. The Noles are the only tournament-bound program out of those wins.
Connecticut does have twin blemishes to the Panthers but boasts a win over the Cardinals in conference play. The Huskies have notable non-con wins over Gonzaga, Miami, Michigan and Wisconsin. All those teams have a shot at the field of 65 with the Canes probably the odd man out.
As for the last No. 1 seed, a lot of analyst have slid the Memphis Tigers into this spot. Just like every year, the biggest argument against the Tigers is the cupcake C-USA schedule. Memphis made good on the selection committee's faith last year and took a No. 1 seed all the way to the national title game.
Coach John Calipari is well aware of the discount the conference schedule puts on his program. He fills the non-conference holes with marquee matchups in order to wow any doubters. However, this year that strategy backfired. Memphis lost to Xavier, Georgetown and Syracuse in non-conference tilts. And the Tigers' most notable wins came over overrated Tennessee and Gonzaga.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Big East gets three top seeds.
Who do you think will be No. 1 seeds in this year's national tournament? And who do you think deserves that spot?
