Next week, we will be gearing up to follow the Madness. March Madness! The NCAA Tournament. The 2024 version of it. While the field is not set for the tournament, we have a pretty good idea how the Top 24 teams will play out. Things on the court can change this a little, but here is our best shot at predicting the March Madness tournament field, for the 24 top at large spots.
Predicting 2024 March Madness Tournament Field | College Basketball Betting Analysis for the NCAA Tournament
2024 March Madness | 85th edition of the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament
Tuesday, March 19th – Monday, April 8th, 2024
Selection Sunday: March 17
1’s: UConn Huskies, Houston Cougars, Purdue Boilermakers, Tennessee Volunteers
The only real question here – will Tennessee grab that final #1 seed? The Huskies, Cougars and Boilermakers are all going to be #1 seed. Will it matter who the overall #1 is? They should all be able to go to the region they hope for. UConn to the East, Purdue to the Midwest and Houston to the South. That leaves Tennessee potentially heading West.

2’s: Arizona Wildcats, North Carolina Tar Heels, Kentucky Wildcats, Creighton Blue Jays
Arizona is another team looking for that final #1 seed. And they could get it. The committee could be watching both Tennessee and Arizona this weekend and coming up with their decision. Is North Carolina a sixth team to consider? Kentucky and Creighton both are here, and both are red hot teams you do not want to face right now.

3’s: Iowa State Cyclones, Marquette Golden Eagles, Duke Blue Devils, Baylor Bears
Two teams from the Big 12 here. The Big 12 appeared to be the best conference in the country, but the Big East was right there. Marquette is on the border of a 3 or 4. They have a big time question mark with Tyler Kolek and his ability to play or not. Duke comes in here as well. The Blue Devils lost both games to North Carolina, but this is a talented team you do not want to overlook in the dance.

4’s: Illinois Fighting Illini, Kansas Jayhawks, Alabama Crimson Tide, South Carolina Gamecocks
Illinois, with Brad Underwood as the head coach seems to be locked in. This is a team that has spent several seasons losing too early in the dance. Kansas looks to be running on fumes, as they could be without a couple starters. A pair of SEC teams also grabbed 4 seeds. For Alabama, can they defend enough? South Carolina is a little new to the party, so will the lights be too bright?

5’s:Auburn Tigers, Brigham Young Cougars, Utah State Aggies, Saint Mary’s Gaels
Bruce Pearl and his Auburn Tigers are a team no one really knows how to handicap. The Brigham Young Cougars spent their first season in the Big 12 and really had a pretty good outcome. They are likely going to be seeded as a Top 20 team. Utah State is a surprise out of the Mountain West. Saint Mary’s is back in the Top 25, with their WCC title over Gonzaga.

6’s: Washington State Cougars, Nevada Wolf Pack, Dayton Flyers, Gonzaga Bulldogs
Washington State was one of the surprise teams that was a game away from winning the Pac-12 regular season title. Nevada is another Mountain West Conference team. They are going to give one of those 3 seeds all they want in the second round. That seems to be a theme here, as Dayton is another team that will be tough to take down. Gonzaga is back. It was a down year in Gonzaga terms, but here they are, with less expectations as the dance gets underway.
