Mizzou fell Saturday to Alabama, named the No. 1 seed in the Southwest Region, in the semifinal round of the Southeastern Conference Tournament.
Kansas and Kansas State were not named in the Midwest Region. KU was awarded the No. 1 Midwest seed in 2022.
If Mizzou, KU and K-State advance to the Sweet Sixteen and/or Elite Eight, none will play in Kansas City at the T-Mobile Center, the destination of the Midwest Region for those rounds.
KU was named the third overall No. 1 seed of the West Region. This marks the team's second consecutive year as a No. 1 seed and 16th overall selection as a No. 1 seed.
