The Hoops HD Selection Committee – Sunday Edition

Posted on March 14, 2021 by John Stalica

Not too many changes were made to our master seed list on Sunday, but there was a motion that was entertained to add Duke to our First Four teams out in place of Boise State. However, the motion was defeated. Wins by Colgate, St. Bonaventure and Alabama did not impact the seed list either.

So, without further ado, we have two contingency brackets depending on whether or not Houston or Cincinnati wins the American conference championship:

In both brackets, Gonzaga would be the #1 overall seed, Baylor #2, Illinois #3 and Michigan #4. Wichita State, Drake and UCLA are in the First Four in both brackets; should Cincinnati win, Louisville would fall down to the First Four and Utah State would be the first team out of the field.
