The NCAA Tournament fields are set for the men and women. For the men: Duke, Arizona, Michigan, and Florida earned 1-seeds. For the ladies: UConn, UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina earned 1-seeds.

In this episode of Shooting Lights Out, we apply The Surge Test to Kansas and TCU to determine whether their recent trajectories signal true contender status or potential postseason disappointment.
