The Selection Committee has made its final decisions, and the NCAA Tournament bracket is now set.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs earned the No. 1 seed in the West region, its highest seeding in school history. They will face the No. 16 Southern Jaguars in San Jose on Thursday. The winner of that game will take on either the No. 8 Pittsburgh Panthers or No. 9 Wichita State Shockers on Saturday.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was the Oregon Ducks getting only a No. 12 seed despite winning the Pac-12 tournament. They're slotted into the Midwest region and will face No. 5 Oklahoma State on Thursday. A consolation prize is that the game will be in San Jose, a relatively quick drive down I-5 from Eugene.
