Saturday marked just the third time in regular-season history—and fifth time ever, including the NCAA tournament—that the Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 teams play each other on the same day. Seriously, it’s that rare. No. 4 Arizona knocked off No. 2 Houston for its third win over a top-three team this season. Then, No. 3 Duke beat No. 1 Michigan in a thriller in Washington, D.C.
The NCAA selection committee revealed on Saturday its current top 16 seeds to show where they stand as the season hits the home stretch. The top 16 reveal is always a valuable data point in understanding how the committee views certain teams as well as some big-picture takeaways on what this year’s committee might value most.
