Virginia

Virginia named 1st seed in South Region

The Virginia Cavaliers earned the number-one seed in the South Region for the 2019 men's NCAA Tournament.

What It Means:

This is the fourth time in the past six years Virginia has earned a top bid. They are one of three ACC teams to earn a number-one seed, along with the Duke Blue Devils (East Region) and North Carolina Tar Heels (Midwest Region). Virginia became the first one seed in men's NCAA Tournament history to lose to a 16-seed last year. They will look to avenge that defeat on Friday versus the number-16 Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs.

The Cavaliers are 3rd in numberFire's NCAA Basketball Team Rankings.

North Carolina

North Carolina claims top seed in Midwest region

The North Carolina Tar Heels will be the number one seed in the Midwest Region for The 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament.

What It Means:

After finishing the regular season with a 27-6 record, the Tar Heels were chosen as the top seed in the Midwest Region despite losing in the ACC semifinals. Look for Cameron Johnson, Luke Maye and Coby White to step up against the Iona Gaels in the first round.

North Carolina is rated fifth overall in numberFire's NCAAB Power Rankings.

The Bulldogs are second in our power rankings and are rated as 21.2 points above average.

Duke earns top seed in the NCAA tournament

The Duke Blue Devils earned the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament and the No. 1 seed in the East Regional.

What It Means:

The Blue Devils are 29-5 and coming off an ACC tournament title. They are led by arguably the top player in the country, forward Zion Williamson, who is averaging 22.1 points per game.

Duke is the top team in our power ranked, which rate them as 21.6 points better than average.
