Baylor is the top seed in the South Region of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after a solid season and hovering near the top of the AP Top 25 all year.
The Bears will take on Hartford in the first round of the tournament. The Hawks won the America East Conference over UMass Lowell.
Ohio State, Arkansas and Purdue round out the top four seeds in the South Region. Baylor and Michigan are the only top seeds in the tournament that didn’t win a conference title.
Though Baylor in the South region, all games will be played in Indiana as part of the NCAA’s coronavirus precautions. The first-round games are March 19 and 20. The South region games will begin on March 19. Individual game times have yet to be determined.
Here’s how the South Region shakes out.
