The biggest debate we had was about the fourth No. 1 seed. Originally we kept UConn as the final No. 1 team. But after a short night of sleep, we flip flopped annd put Memphis in the No.1 seed in the West and dropped UConn to No. 2. We also firmed up the No. 1 overall seed, which we gave to Louisville, which puts the Cardinals as No. 1 in the Midwest. Pitt moves to the No.1 seed in the East, North Carolina is No. 1 in the South and Memphis, as we said, moves to the No. 1 seed in the West.
