The biggest difference in landing a West Region seed for the UA is that the Wildcats could get a rematch with Gonzaga before what would potentially be a pro-UA crowd at San Jose, California, in the Elite Eight for the right to get to the Final Four. Gonzaga beat the UA 69-62 on Dec. 3 in Los Angeles, but the Wildcats were without leading scorer Allonzo Trier in that game.

Sean Miller wasn’t about to look too far ahead into what it all meant. Not with No. 15 seed North Dakota (22-9) having won both the Big Sky regular-season and tournament titles, plus the possibility of facing VCU or Saint Mary’s in the second round

lost in first round by withita state going to rhode island in 2016

TEAM BY TEAM BREAKDOWN

8. Arizona Wildcats
Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey once forbade his front office from likening prospects to NBA players of the same race. Great idea. Comparing players superficially is incredibly pervasive; it is lazy (at best) and misleading (at worst). So instead of saying that Lauri Markkanen -- Arizona's 7-foot European super-frosh who shoots 73 percent at the rim, leads his team in 3-point attempts and accuracy (43.4 percent), and mixes in the occasional unguardable wrong-foot pull-up -- reminds us a lot of Dirk Nowitzki, let's just say Markkanen is the closest thing college basketball has to That Dude. Markkanen carried Arizona's offense for months before Wildcats coach Sean Miller got sophomore guard Allonzo Trier back from a PED-related suspension. Now full strength, the Wildcats are a full-blown offensive terror.

23. Saint Mary's Gaels
By most reasonable measures, the 2016-17 Gaels were good enough to be the West Coast Conference's best team in just about any other year in recorded human history. This is probably the best Saint Mary's team ever. This season, unfortunately, Gonzaga happened to be a juggernaut. Tough break. The good news: Now we get to see how uber-efficient center Jock Landale and his hot-shooting Australian brethren stack up with the rest of country. Finally.

Nevada Wolf Pack
Longtime NBA coaching journeyman Eric Musselman may belong to college basketball's increasingly random "Whoa, that NBA guy coaches there?!" fraternity -- led by co-presidents Dan Majerle (Grand Canyon) and Mike Dunleavy Sr. (Tulane, seriously) -- but he has done a bang-up job in just his second season at Nevada. The Wolf Pack were the Mountain West's best, and while that may not mean what it did when Jimmer Fredette and Kawhi Leonard were around, it's an impressive accomplishment all the same.
