LouisvilleClockwise from top left: Suzy Allman/NYT; Jason Cohn/Reuters; Dave Martin/AP; Jim McIssac/Getty Clockwise from top left, the top seeds for the men's N.C.A.A. tournament are Louisville, Pittsburgh, North Carolina and Connecticut.

Update | 7:37 p.m. Here is a thought about the team no one wants to play from Thayer Evans:

Utah State. The Aggies' non-conference schedule was relatively weak, but they did win 24 of their first 25 games this season and do have a legitimate frontcourt in the 26-year-old forward Gary Wilkinson (17.1 points and 6.9 rebounds) and forward Tai Wesley (11.9 points 6.1 rebounds). Under the 11th-year Coach Stew Morrill, they have won at least 23 games in 10 consecutive seasons, which is only matched by Kansas and Gonzaga. Morrill is due for another win in the N.C.A.A. tournament. His team upset Ohio State in the first round of the N.C.A.A. tournament in 2001 and nearly did the same two years later to national runner-up Kansas. They play Marquette in Boise, Idaho, in the first round this year.

Some great stuff, as usual, from ESPN.com's Pat Forde.
