Bracketology: Virginia, Villanova, Xavier, Kansas current projected No. 1s

Following Saturday’s action, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi has shuffled his No. 1 seeds.

Virginia, Villanova, Xavier and Kansas are the projected No. 1 seeds per Lunardi.

Villanova beat Xavier on Saturday to give itself the inside track on winning a fifth straight Big East regular season title, while Kansas topped West Virginia to remain in the hunt for a 14th straight Big 12 regular season crown.

The current alignment would give the Big East two of the four No. 1 seeds.
