One of the more interesting things to do with each NCAA Tournament bracket is to take a look at how the seeds, fell, by region and by seed, when the full 68-field bracket is revealed.
They did not always used to do it, but for the past several years, the NCAA has released this information to show the weeks worth of work done by the selection committee.
Listed below are this year’s seeds, 1 through 68.
The first four seeds wound up as No. 1 seeds, the next four (5 through 8) wound up as No. 2 seeds and so on down the line.
Those teams listed in bold are in the West region, where Kansas is the top seed.
The Jayhawks will open NCAA Tournament play at 1 p.m. Thursday against No. 16 seed Howard at Wells Fargo Arena, in Des Moines, Iowa.
