This was a tough draw for the Zags, typically they will have a better seed than 8. They destroyed the SEC’s Georgia Bulldogs and played 1 seed Houston close.

Couple of other points (re Wikipedia): (1) Sampson is a Native American from a tribe I never heard of in North Carolina ("Lumbee"). (2) While earning a Master's degree from Michigan State, he served a year as a graduate assistant for Jud Heathcote.

Jud Heathcoate is one of many great coaches Montana has had over the years. National champion with Magic Johnson

Not sure why the system lopped off the end of my sentence, which was suppose to include ... "a member of the Heathcote coaching tree." Just looked that up and I see that Sampson is considered a member of the Heathcote "tree", despite the short direct association of the two.

Meanwhile, the first game of the day was great: Back and forth pretty much all the way, ending in a 2-point win for Florida over UConn. No three-peat for the Huskies.
 
No drama in the second game of the day. Duke clobbered Baylor, 89-66. But what else would you expect? The game was played in Raleigh, N.C. ... about 25 miles from the Duke campus. Ouch!

They want to have big programs play close to their campus to get more fans attending. This is why it was somewhat a head scratcher they sent Wisconsin to Denver and Iowa State to Milwaukee. Iowa State to Denver and Wisconsin to Milwaukee would have made more sense geographically.
 
Michigan coach and former FAU coach Dusty May on whether the NIL/portal will change the little guys going deep in the tourney: "I don't think Cinderella's dead, but I don't think she'll be making as many visits as before."
