Louisville earned the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament Sunday, while Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga also received No. 1s after a topsy-turvy regular season and another round of weekend upsets.

The selection committee had its work cut out after five teams swapped the top ranking in The Associated Press poll, capped by West Coast Conference champion Gonzaga (30-2) moving to the lead spot for the first time in school history.

But it's No. 4 Louisville (29-5) that leads the 68-team field after a stunning turnaround to beat Syracuse for the Big East championship. No. 7 Kansas (29-5) defeated rival Kansas State for the Big 12 title, No. 3 Indiana (28-6) held on despite falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten semifinals, while the Zags also got a coveted spot.

I lived in Kansas City, Ks many years ago when the bus bringing the Louisville team into Missouri for the final 4 playoffs. I met them at the truck stop & talked to several of the players & as they were leaving I wished them good luck & they WON IT ALL THAT YEAR. I was the world light heavy weight champ in full contact at the time & would hold 5 titles up until I retired some years later. I am from S. Philly originally but lived& schooled in the south & upper midwest.
