March 16, 2016 Matt Cox

In a bracket with household programs like Duke and Oklahoma, it was Oregon who drew the top seed line in the West Region. While the Ducks look ahead to a potential date with the Blue Devils or Baylor in the top-half of the region, the bottom half may produce a re-match of the red-river rivalry between the Sooners and Longhorns in the regional semis.

Will the strong prevail? Or will underdogs like Little Rock, Iona, and Fresno State make their mark in Tourney lore?

NCAA Tournament Previews & Predictions: First Four

March 14, 2016 Matt Cox

All eyes will be on Dayton for the first four games of the 2016 NCAA tournament. Tulsa and Michigan will look to to justify the committee's "questionable" decision to include them in the field of 68, while the Vanderbilt/Wichita State matchup features two teams that may be as dangerous as any in the South region.
