The four No. 1 seeds are all set. One-hundred percent.How is this possible? Well, three of the four teams are done playing before selection day — North Dakota, Michigan State and Western Michigan. Therefore, none of their NPIs will move very much over the next week, and there's enough of a gap between them all that it won't matter. Michigan, which has moved back to No. 1, has just one game remaining...

Tom Izzo has sent out the warning shot. “We’re going to show up Sunday.” And who am I not to believe Coach.
