Self’s Kansas team is entering the NCAA Tournament this week as a No. 1 seed with four senior starters — four players that played an integral part in the Jayhawks’ Final Four appearance last season. For a title contender in a one-and-done era, it’s certainly a rare case of seniority.

“As a coach I don’t really get caught up in seeding,” said second-year WKU coach Harper. “We’re just happy we are still playing. We went through a stretch we had our entire backcourt injured. When we’ve had our entire team together we are 17-5. I was hoping they (NCAA tournament committee) would look at that, but at the same time we’re happy we’re still playing.”

You can take your No. 1 overall seed and … well, you know. After Indiana dropped Michigan in Ann Arbor on March 10, it was generally assumed that the Hoosiers would be the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament. We probably spend too much time fretting about the No. 1 seeds, but in this case it felt right: If Indiana got the top spot in the bracket, it would be placed in the Indianapolis Regional, would play its Sweet 16 and Elite Eight games 45 minutes north of Bloomington, Ind., and would thus have a genuine home-court advantage.

Can you say brutal? Between them, the coaches of the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 seeds have 22 Final Four berths and six national championships. One (Mike Krzyzewski) already is in the Hall of Fame; another (Rick Pitino) could become one of the newest members at this year's Final Four; and for the third (Tom Izzo), it's just a matter of time.
