SEC Tournament champs...and it does not matter.
Committee always tries to avoid rematches within the top 4 seeds. Arkansas has played Duke and Florida already this season, so scratch those two regions. That left being paired with Arizona's bracket or Michigan's bracket being the 4 seed. The committee then had Alabama as a higher 4 seed than Arkansas, so that left Arkansas traveling to Portland and put Alabama in the MidWest bracket with Michigan.
While it seems unfair, it was really the only option.

My guess is they did a switcheroo of Vanderbilt and Arkansas's seeds based on who won the game today (so if Vandy won, Arky would be the 5 seed in the South and Vandy would be the 4 in the West). Have to say I kind of like Vandy's draw a bit more though. McNeese is tougher than Hawaii, but I'd rather face Nebraska than Wisconsin and Florida than Arizona in potential field of 32 and sweet 16 matchups. Plus, OKC instead of Portland.
