Obviously if you follow college basketball just a little bit day to day, you'd know Auburn is probably going to be the overall 1 seed, and win the SEC. Michigan State has been a little bit under the radar from my PoV, but they just went undefeated in December and January, with Lunardi having them as a 3-seed as of right now. And obviously since you're here, you know about Tech; loved by all metrics, being top 15 or so in almost all of them and just generally probably one of the top 15 or 20 teams in the country. Virginia is one of the worst basketball teams in the country (lol), so they almost certainly won't be in the tournament, they don't fit into this equation.
These teams all have something in common, an appearance in Minneapolis for the Final Four just a few 6 years ago. Could we see a similar outcome this year?
