They may have the same seed but other than that, it’s probably going to happen. 
 

I fail to see much difference in this and how A&M got a higher seed than Kentucky in 2016 despite Kentucky tying for the regular season crown with the Aggies and beating them in the SEC Title game. Kentucky fans were pretty upset about that.

I agree with you.

Its felt like the Selection Committee hasn't paid attention to the games on Sunday before, but I think if Purdue wins their current game for the Big 10 Title, you give them and Tennessee a 2 seed and UK drops to 3. Purdue loses, they are the 3 and UT plus UK are twos.

But the bracket may already be filled in.

There shouldn’t, but if history has shown us anything, conference tournament results aren’t often weighted that heavily. I remember in 2011 UK rolled through the SEC tournament, blowing out Florida in the Finals (beat them 2 out of 3 times), yet UF gets a 3 seed, and UK gets the toughest 4 seed draw. 

It looks like the selection committee doesn't put much value on conference tournament results when it comes to the top seeds. I saw the head of the committee talk yesterday and he acted like the bracket was done outside of the bottom of the field where low ranked teams could win conference tournaments and knock other teams off the bubble.

Gonzaga overall #1 West Region

Gonzaga will take on Georgia State

 

#8 Seed Boise State vs. #9 Memphis

 

#5 UCONN vs. #12 New Mexico St

#4 Arkansas vs. #13 Vermont

Arkansas sure didn't get seed protection in location.  Buffalo with the likes of Connecticut and Vermont.

#6 Alabama vs. #11 Rutgers/Notre Dame winner

#3 Texas Tech vs. #14 Montana St.

 

#7 Mich St. vs. #10 Davidson

#2 Duke vs. #15 CS Fullerton

I believe that makes Duke the lowest ranked #2 seed since they are in the same bracket with the overall #1 seed.

Give me Duke over Gonzaga in the West.

Does Arkansas at 3 make it pretty sure that UK is at least a #2 seed?

If the Zags are the overall #1, doesn’t that mean Duke is the last 2 seed?

I believe so.

Arkansas was a 4 seed. 

And I'm still pretty sure Kentucky will be a 2 seed.

There you go - Tennessee is a 3 seed. 

South Region

#1 Arizona vs. #16 Wright State/Bryant (San Diego)

I agree. Tennessee shouldn’t have been placed as a 3 seed. At least a 2 and a good argument for a 1 based on their play the last month.
