The Texas Tech Red Raiders have a strong body of work this season, and a slow end to the season didn’t do anything to knock them down from a high seed.

Ball left the program and Riley and Hill were suspended for the rest of the season after the incident. ...

That’s another reason why the Quakers have been installed nearly even-money favorites to cut down the nets....
The Wichita State Shockers were expected to run away and hide from the rest of the opposition in the program’s first year as a member of the American Athletic Conference. That didn’t turn out to be the case with Greg Marshall’s kids not catching fire till the tail end of the season.

With that, Cincinnati earned the tournament’s top seed with Wichita State, Houston and Tulsa rounding out the top-4....
