As expected, the Kentucky Wildcats are your number one overall seed in the Midwest region. Duke, Villanova and Wisconsin also secured No. 1 seeds after impressive conference tournaments.

Four more teams will hit the hard court on Wednesday and the round of 64, otherwise known as the second and third rounds will take place March 19-21 across the country in four regions: East, Midwest, South and West.
