Get caught up on all the must-know information, including the favorites and underdogs, top seeds and key games, and how to fill out your brackets. The top four seeds for the NCAA Tournament are Alabama, Houston, Kansas, and Purdue, but each faces potential hurdles and set up what promises to be a chaotic tournament. Notably, Alabama, led by coach Nate Oats and SEC player of the year Brandon Miller, is a No.1 seed for the first time, while Houston snagged a top seed despite stumbling in their conference championship game. There are plenty of exciting games to watch, including No. 7 Texas A&M vs. No.10 Penn State, No. 8 Arkansas vs. No. 9 Illinois, No. 5 Miami vs. Drake, and No.6 Kentucky vs. No.11 Providence.
