Jerry Palm of CBS Sports and Joe Lunardi of ESPN both moved Arizona up one spot on the seed line in their latest bracketology that was updated on Friday. Palm has Arizona as a five seed which is up from six on Tuesday. Lunardi has Arizona as a four, which is one spot up from his projection of the Wildcats as a four seed on Tuesday.
Palm projects Arizona to play 12th-seeded McNeese State in the first round of the South Regional to play in Seattle. If Arizona beats McNeese State they would play the winner of fourth-seeded Memphis and 13th seed Grand Canyon in the second round. That is the same match-up Lunardi had on Tuesday.
Palm projects Auburn as the number one seed in the South. If Arizona advanced out of Seattle they would be projected to play Auburn in the South Regional Semifinal in Atlanta. Auburn is projected to play the winner of New Mexico and West Virginia (who Arizona is 1-1 against this season) in the second round in Lexington, Kentucky…
