The four No. 1 seeds in this year’s men’s tournament are as follows: In the East, the dominant UConn Huskies took the top spot, as well as the top seed in the tournament overall, with 27-7 North Carolina No. 1 in the West. In the South, the Houston Cougars put together a powerhouse season and a 30-4 record to take the top seed in the region, while in the Midwest, Zach Edey and the Purdue Boilermakers are No. 1.
