The power conference tournaments all begin Wednesday, except for the ACC, which kicks off its festivities on Tuesday. Teams competing for No. 1 seeds in the 2019 NCAA tournament will be off until the weekend, other than Gonzaga, which plays St. Mary’s for the WCC title on Tuesday night.
Gonzaga has already locked up a No. 1 seed. That leaves three No. 1 seeds to fill, and, as we see it, eight teams vying for the top line. Those teams are Virginia, North Carolina and Duke from the ACC; Kentucky, LSU and Tennessee from the SEC, Michigan State from the Big Ten; and Texas Tech from the Big 12.
