The NCAA tournament’s selection committee revealed the preliminary top four seeds in each region this afternoon for the second year in a row. Even after their heartbreaking home loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies last night, the Virginia Cavaliers are currently projected as the overall No. 1 seed in this year’s dance.
The Hoos (23-2, 12-1 ACC) were placed in the South region with Purdue as the No. 1 seed in the West and the fourth top seed. Villanova (East) and Xavier (Midwest) were the second and third No. 1 seeds, respectively.
