As the loaded weekend slate of games in men's college basketball was just getting underway, the NCAA tournament selection committee revealed its "if the season ended today" top 16 teams for the bracket, with Purdue, Connecticut, Houston and Arizona as the No. None of those teams moved much aside from Kentucky making a big jump , but just a heads up that the top 16 is a bit different from what we were told two days ago.

Lunardi gives Purdue the edge as the top overall seed, though that could change in the final days of the Big Ten tournament.

Heading into the final two days before Selection Sunday, here are some tournament storylines to keep an eye on. While there are plenty of teams that seem more than capable of making a big run in the tournament, the top seed in the tournament is a three-way race between Houston, UConn and Purdue.
