I have one overarching takeaway: The Big East and the Mountain West should be furious. Absolutely furious. The Big East being the second-highest rated conference by most metrics and only getting three bids is extremely disrespectful. MWC was underseeded across the board.

Alabama has made a strong push recently into the NCAA Tournament conversation. Nate Oats has his team playing at a high level and the Crimson Tide are way better now than they were a month or two ago. Bama defends its home court against K-State behind 26 points from Kira Lewis.

Coach Jordan is going to be really good at this. He was always great to talk to about nationwide college hoops when he was at Butler. Should rock this role.

Head coach Mike Young has flown under-the-radar as an elite leader for the past few seasons. Now in first year at the helm of Virginia Tech, he has put the team into the NCAA Tournament conversation despite losing a ton of talent. Hokies take down NC State.

#Butler was up for a foreign trip and it could not come at a much better time. New coach Thad Matta will be taking his roster to Italy and Greece this summer. Some critical practices and exhibition games for the new staff.
