With but a few weeks to go before the NCAA Tournament begins, there’s still a lot to sort out on the men’s side of college basketball. For one, none of the No. 1 seeds have been definitively locked in.
On one of the last regular-season — and supposedly normal — Saturdays of the regular season, none of the consensus best teams made much of a good case for top bracket protections. And by best, I mean six of the top-seven in the top-25 rankings, who all played on the road. Huh, let me check the calendar. Oh, it’s still February? That’s weird. Are we sure the tournament didn’t start yet? (Holds hand to earpiece at muffled yelling.)
I’m being told that’s still a few weeks away. I apologize for the confusion.
