The four No. 1 seeds in this year's tournament are Alabama, Houston, Kansas and Purdue.

While the Cougars may be overlooked by some because they are in the American Athletic Conference and not one of the traditional power leagues, they are the top team in KenPom.com's rankings and can win the game on either side of the floor with the No. 4 defense and No. 11 offense.

Yet it will be the Jayhawks looking for back-to-back titles if they can escape a daunting West Region that includes UCLA, Gonzaga and UConn.

Throw in the Crimson Tide going for their first Final Four in program history and the Boilermakers attempting to win the Big Ten its first national title since 2000 and there will be no shortage of storylines for the top seeds as the tournament gets underway.
