Yesterday I posted where ESPN reseeded the NCAA Sweet 16 , today CBS Sports college basketball writer Jeff Borzello has reseeded the field. ESPN had Kentucky as the fourth #1 seed ahead of Louisville and Baylor. Where does Borzello have the Cats seeded?
Here is the top four seeds.
1. Florida: The Gators are still the favorites to cut down the nets in Dallas, despite not looking dominant in their two wins. Their defense is among the best in the country — and it will have to be against UCLA in the regional semifinals.
2. Arizona: After a lackluster game against Weber State, the Wildcats rolled past Gonzaga in a blowout Round of 32 victory. Up next is a rematch with San Diego State that will be defined on the defensive end. Arizona’s mismatches are tough.
3. Virginia: The Cavaliers continue to roll, now winning 18 of their past 19 games after handling Coastal Carolina and Memphis. This is yet another team that will be carried by its defense, but Michigan State will be a difficult test.
4. Michigan State: Still among the favorites to win the championship, the Spartans are hoping their escape against Harvard was a wakeup call. They have the pieces to make a run, they just need to perform consistently the rest of the way.
5. Louisville
6. Baylor
7. Kentucky: The Wildcats have finally turned the corner in the 2013-14 season — although it took slightly longer than expected. Coming off the win over Wichita State, Kentucky is certainly a threat to reach the Final Four. The offense is clicking.
