Weekly Seed Report

Can't anyone here play this game? That's the burning question after nine of our 16 seeded teams from last week lost, three of them twice. Goodbye Tennessee, which fell victim to Arkansas and Mississippi. Adios also to Georgetown, a 103-79 loser to Providence; Wisconsin, which went down to Ohio State; and crumbling Maryland, another two-time loser. Virginia barely held on as a No. 4 after falling to N.C. State and Georgia Tech.

The week's winners include Illinois, now the top seed in the Midwest thanks to its defeat of Michigan State, and Oklahoma, UCLA, Kentucky and Ole Miss, which are seeds for the first time this year.
