I like the first-round draw pretty well, but Virginia Tech looks unusually strong for a 4-seed.

So both teams have to travel 2500 miles to play in San Jose.

Rebs 8 seed vs Oklahoma. Win and they get Virginia.

I would hate to see it but I honestly wouldn't be suprised if the black bears beat Virginia (if Virginia doens't lost to a 16 again)

Liberty lost to Vandy. Enough said.

3 1-seeds from the ACC probably.

Basketball conference ....

Just saying, that's a very OM thing to do. But they probably won't make it past OU.

Virginia will beat them like a rented mule, IF the Confederates get by Oklahoma, which they may not.

Virginia absolutely blew it last season, but they did lose a valuable player. This year, they won the acc that has 3 1-seeds. Virginia will not bow out early this year

They don't have a very good track record under Bennett. Here's their last 5 years:
2014 - 1 seed, lost to 4 Michigan State in S16
2015 - 2 seed, lost to 7 Michigan State in 2nd round
2016 - 1 seed, lost to 10 Syracuse in E8
2017 - 5 seed, lost to 4 Florida in 2nd round
2018 - 1 seed, lost to 16 UMBC in 1st round

But the media doesn’t cry about it like they do the SEC dominating football

Brutal bracket, but a very winnable first two games
