It’s conference tournament week, with only a few days left until the NCAA tournament bracket is out.

-Arkansas has a strong shot as a No. 1 seed. If Tennessee wins the SEC tournament, beating the Razorbacks on the way, it could vault the Volunteers into that.

Virginia and Florida State should be locks to get No. 1 seeds, especially after Duke lost to Wake Forest in the ACC tournament quarterfinals.
Below is the final TDS projected bracket as of games played through November 2.
