    After North Carolina’s home loss to Duke on Wednesday night, fellow ACC member Virginia replaced the Tar Heels on the top line as a 1 seed in Joe Lunardi’s latest Mock NCAA Tournament Bracket.

    The Cavaliers join Villanova, Oklahoma and Kansas as 1 seeds.

    Maryland, Iowa, Xavier and North Carolina are the 2 seeds.

    The 3 seeds feature West Virginia, Miami, Oregon and Michigan State.

    The 4s are Duke, Kentucky, Dayton and Iowa State.

    LSU and projected No. 1 pick Ben Simmons moved down to an 11 seed and would face No. 6 Indiana.

    The ACC lost a team and now has as many (7) as the Big 12 and Big Ten. The SEC and the Pac-12 have 6 apiece, and the Big East has 5.

    From the tri-state area, UConn, Seton Hall, Yale, Monmouth, Wagner and Stony Brook are all in the field.

    UConn is projected as a 9 seed facing No. 8 Providence.

    Seton Hall, which won at Georgetown Wednesday night, is a 10 and would face No. 7 USC.

    Monmouth is also a 10 and would face No. 7 Cal.

    Stony Brook is a 13 and would get No. 4 Duke.

    Yale is also a 13 and would get No. 4 Iowa State.
