The top four seeds in the Midwest Region were stunned in their conference tournaments. Purdue, Tennessee, Creighton, and Kansas were all shockingly eliminated without reaching their conference championship games.

Five teams in this quarter of the bracket won their conference tournaments and are playing their best basketball at the right time.
