The regular season has finished and the Field of 64 has been released as conference tournament week has come to a close and all eyes are turned onto Regional play starting this Friday. We’ll have a full Regional breakdown and preview covering every team in the tournament, and up until that let’s look at where the dust settled following an especially exciting conference tournament weekend.

Arkansas stayed true to its resume as the top team in the country, blowing through the SEC tournament in impressive fashion and collecting the conference’s automatic bid in the process. Tennessee climbs to No. 2 after falling just short in the SEC tournament. Texas comes in at No. 3 following a 2-2 showing in the Big 12 tournament, while Vanderbilt falls to No. 4 and Notre Dame holds steady at No. 5.

New teams to enter the Top 25 include No. 17 Duke, No. 21 Louisiana Tech, and No. 23 Oklahoma State. Duke has been the hottest team in the country over the last few minutes and captured the ACC tournament title in the process while Louisiana Tech came up just short against Old Dominion in the Conference USA tournament. Oklahoma State also came up just short in the conference tourney as they fell in the championship game against TCU.
