No seed changes after Monday's games.
Western Kentucky and James Madison enter the bracket after securing automatic bids. Gonzaga, Iona and Davidson lock in their spots as well by winning their conference tournaments.
St. Mary's loss to Gonzaga doesn't hurt them, but it will be an anxious week for the Gaels as bubble teams around them will have the opportunity to knock SMC out by adding a few quality wins.

Gonzaga is the obvious outlier in the bracket. The Zags low strength of schedule and lack of quality wins in comparison to the teams on the No. 1 and 2 seed lines hold them back. Should they win the WCC tourney they'll move up to a No. 2 seed, but historically, teams with their resume haven't scared a No. 1 seed.
Indiana and Duke are the top two teams by a solid margin. Duke won't win the ACC regular season, but Ryan Kelly has returned ,and the Blue Devils are undefeated with him in the line up. The ACC doesn't play a balanced schedule, so finishing a game behind Miami with a more difficult conference SOS won't hurt them.
The bubble is a mess right now with no teams able to keep any momentum. The SEC tournament will go a long way to decide who gets in from the Kentucky/Ole Miss/Arkansas/Tennessee group, but until then it's impossible to differentiate between these teams. All of them have gaping holes in their resumes. Kentucky is most in need of a win. Since the season ending injury to Nerlens Noel, they've struggled against any teams of note.

Indiana remains No. 1 overall despite Duke's win over Miami.
The Blue Devils look pretty secure as a top seed with the victory.
Miami doesn't drop based on the loss to Duke, but any other loss outside of Duke again in the ACC title game, and they'll struggle to get a No. 1 seed.
Michigan will have a chance to jump into the top line by beating the Hoosiers at home this weekend.
Arizona is struggling, and it feels as if they shouldn't be on the No. 3 line, but I haven't found the team that knocks them down to the No. 4 line just yet. If Kansas State pulls off a road win against Oklahoma State this weekend then the KSU would likely take Zona's place as a No. 3 seed.
VCU's demolition of Butler jumps the Rams over the Bulldogs.
Boise State's win over Colorado State jumps them into the bracket after no other bubble teams did anything to improve their resumes.
Stephen F. Austin and Princeton join the bracket after taking the regular season leads in their conferences.
