According to ESPN’s latest bracketology update, the projected No. 1 seeds are UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame, and USC. These teams have consistently demonstrated dominance throughout the season, maintaining strong records and impressive performances.
Texas Longhorns’ Ascent
The Texas Longhorns have made a compelling case for a top seed. With a 21–2 record and five victories against ranked opponents, their only losses have come from current No. 1 seeds South Carolina and Notre Dame. Their upcoming matchup against South Carolina on February 9 presents a pivotal opportunity to bolster their seeding prospects.
Missouri Tigers’ Climb
The Missouri Tigers have risen to a projected No. 6 seed following a significant 83-75 victory over Ole Miss. This win marks their third Quad 1 victory of the season, enhancing their tournament resume. With a 16-4 record, Missouri is approaching NCAA Tournament “lock” status and aims to further solidify its position in the coming weeks.
Bubble Teams and Notable Movements
Teams like Ohio State and Texas remain on the bubble, with recent mixed results affecting their standings. Ohio State secured a win against #11 Purdue after a loss to Indiana, while Texas rebounded from a defeat to Florida with a victory over #22 Missouri. Creighton and New Mexico also find themselves in precarious positions, needing strong finishes to secure tournament berths.
As the regular season progresses, upcoming key matchups and conference tournaments will play crucial roles in determining final seedings and selections for the NCAA Tournament.
