Wow. Was fully expecting to dance with our old friend The Bald Ladder Man.

Morehead St is the alma mater of (very, very douchey) wrestling dirt sheet guy Sean Ross Sapp
I’m glad we aren’t. I wanna be able to
cheer for him.

One region through and I feel that is a bracket of death.
Minix is tough but we have a guy that is superior to him athletically and just as big in TSJ. Come out with intensity and take care of business like we should!

Super doable path. I’ll take it.
Tough region, Iowa State, Auburn and UConn is a lot of tough, gritty and talented teams in a single region (not to mention The Beloved). Would have loved to see Duke, UNC or Kentucky instead of any of those squads.

UConn, Illinois, Iowa State, Auburn, FAU, San Diego State, Drake, Northwestern, Morehead State!
Hope it is a late evening game. The way we are playing should be a win .

At the end of the day we’re gonna have to win the big game… But the Big East, Big 12, B1G 10 and SEC tourney champs all in the same region is wild
Ironically we might have gotten the best draw for at least a second weekend run.

Nbd, just 4 top 10 Kenpom teams. 3 Final Four teams from last season. 4 best conference tourney champions

You should be happy Auburn, FAU, and SDSU are up there - they can all beat UCONN.
Not morehead st they had a weak schedule and got blown out by penn st
Am I the only one that feels we got absolutely hosed on this draw? Iowa State is a top 5 team, UConn is the best team in the country, BYU is ranked higher than Illinois in NET rankings, and Auburn is better than most of the 2 seeds. Absolutely brutal and so typical for IL. Smh
