The Auburn Tigers were announced as the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, with the Duke Blue Devils, Houston Cougars, and Florida Gators rounding out the four No. 1 seeds. St. John’s, led by coach Rick Pitino, is a notable two-seed to watch. Duke, despite some uncertainty about star player Cooper Flagg’s injury, is also a top contender. The North Carolina Tar Heels and several bubble teams snuck into the tournament, while other schools like Indiana, Ohio State, West Virginia, and Boise State narrowly missed out. The SEC stands out with a record-breaking 14 teams making the field. The tournament will run from Thursday to March 23, with the Final Four taking place in San Antonio on April 5 and 7. Teams like Missouri, who rebounded from a winless conference season, are poised to be tough opponents.
