ACC champions Virginia received the No. 1 overall seed in the 68-team NCAA men’s basketball tournament Sunday night, cementing the Cavaliers as favorites to reach their first Final Four in 34 years.
Virginia, who defeated North Carolina 71-63 Saturday to win the ACC Tournament and run their record to 31-2, was joined on the one line by Big East tournament champions Villanova; Big 12 regular season and tournament champions Kansas; and Big East regular season champions Xavier.
The seedings and matchups were unveiled during a two-hour selection show broadcast for the first time on TBS after moving from its longtime home, CBS. As part of a format overhaul, all 68 teams in the field were announced in the show’s first 15 minutes, dispensing with any drama about who would be left on the bubble.
In went Arizona State, Syracuse, and Oklahoma. Out went Baylor, Louisville, and Oklahoma State.
Notre Dame received the unkindest cut. Creighton University athletic director Bruce Rasmussen, the chair of the Division I men's basketball committee, told TBS that the Fighting Irish were the last team left out of the field.
