Top seed: Florida Gators
Overrated: Colorado. An eight-seed seems lofty for a team that went 5-5 in its last 10 games and is 9-9 since Jan. 12. That screams double-digit seed.
Double-digit seed that could be Sweet: Stephen F. Austin. Winners of 28 consecutive games, SFA forces turnovers by the truckload, scores with almost anyone and ranks in the top-40 nationally in assists (16.6), points allowed (62.6) and steals (7.6) per game. The Lumberjacks ironically are undersized, so avoiding a match-up against an interior-dominated team is beneficially.
Best player: Kansas superstar freshman Andrew Wiggins is the easy pick here. The teenager will be a lofty NBA draft pick this summer, but how far the Jayhawks roll will depend on whether classmate Joel Embiid returns to action despite his balky back.
