I love this first weekend draw. Great location in Tampa and Texas Tech was my preferred 5-seed.

East bracket would have been tough. This is much more favorable at least.

I love our draw I think Michigan would be super vulnerable by the time we'd play them but we gotta focus on the first couple of games for sure, anything can happen in march baby

Should be an easy flight for most of us based in the southeast, especially where I am in ATL.

This is as good of a bracket as you could ask for honestly. Obviously Michigan is tough but all of the 1’s are daunting this year

Texas Tech as your 5 & Michigan as your 1 is what I figured we’d get.
Don’t be surprised if Akron finds a way though.

I watch a crap ton of college basketball and know very little about Hofstra which concerns me a bit. Hopefully Nate can get the team to take them seriously.
