They will have a #1 regional seed even if they do lose their conference tournament. That doesn't mean they will win.

I am a believer in the theory that teams from the strongest conferences tend to shine in the tournament. This year that means the Big East without much room for debate. They all have some losses from beating up on each other. I won't be surprised to see a couple of them in the final four.

The intriguing team to me is Kentucky. They are very young, and play like it sometimes, so I doubt they will be able to put a six game run together. But scary talent. John Wall is not the only super frosh on that team. A few years from now people will shake their heads that all those guys were on the same college team.
