The 2016 NCAA Tournament will be underway this week, and the Selection Sunday show officially started one of the best times of the year for sports. The No. 1 seeds for this year's tournament were released early Sunday evening, and are listed below by region follows:

East Region: North Carolina Tar Heels
South Region: Kansas Jayhawks
Midwest Region: Virginia Cavaliers
West Region: Oregon Ducks
Kansas earned the No. 1 overall seed for this year's tournament. The team that arguably got snubbed from a No. 1 seed here is the Michigan State Spartans, who finished the season winning the Big Ten conference tournament and a 29-5 overall record.
Kansas has been the best team in the country for the majority of this season having racked up 30 wins against only four losses and the Jayhawks are currently on a 14-game winning streak. Kansas beat the likes of Kansas State, Baylor and West Virginia to become Big 12 Champions.
North Carolina won the ACC Tournament thanks to a gritty effort against Virginia in the final and wins over Pitt and Notre Dame before that. The Tar Heels won the regular season title by a two game margin and have been rewarded with a No. 1 seed for it. They also are 9-3 in their last 12 games and were a perfect 7-0 on neutral courts, which will certainly come into play during the NCAA Tournament.

It might also be interesting to point out that this year's No. 1 seeds have a combined 23 losses on the year.
