Auburn has been selected as the top overall seed in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, confirming its dominance despite a previous home loss to Florida. The Tigers continue to lead the AP poll and hold a remarkable record with 13 Quadrant 1 wins. Alabama, Duke, and Florida also secured top seeds, showcasing the Southeastern Conference's strong representation in the tournament. Committee chair Bubba Cunningham noted a historic season for the SEC, reflecting a competitive landscape with five out of the six top teams coming from this conference.
"They are clearly our No. 1," said North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham, who is the chair of this year's selection committee.
"The narrative since the season began was how strong Southeastern Conference teams are, and that's reflective in this Top 16 reveal."
"Having five of the top six teams being from one conference is equally impressive as it is unusual."
Auburn remained the No. 1 team in this week's AP poll for the fifth straight week.
