Zags lost their conference championship to Portland. That will affect their seeding.... Maybe even banished to Albany.

If we go by star power (fan interest in watching the games), I'm thinking that the NCAA/TV people would like to see the following in the EE/FF (no particular order):

-Clark (Iowa)
-Reese (LSU)
-Brink (Stanford)
-JuJu (U$C)
-Hidalgo (USB)
-Bueckers (Yukon)
-UCLA collectively
-S. Carolina collectively

With Gonzaga losing to Portland, it takes away one more at large bid now having to make room for both Gonzaga and a 12 loss Portland team in the bracket. Hope that doesn't kick Adia and Arizona out.
