West
1 Penn
2 Southern Illinois
3 Oakland
4 Weber State
8 LaSalle
9 IUPUI
5 Washington State
12 Denver
7 San Francisco
6 South Carolina State
No dominating team, but a ton of depth in this region.
Midwest
1 Wichita State
2 Xavier
3 Yale
4 New Mexico
9 Fordham
7 Santa Clara
6 Prairie View
I don’t see anybody stopping Wichita here.
South
1 Duquesne
2 Wyoming
3 Drake
4 Sacramento State
16 UTEP
5 Georgia State
10 Bethune
11 Pepperdine
So UTEP is a 16 seed and has to face Duquesne in the first round. At least they finally made it!
East
1 Brown
2 Southern Utah
3 Montana
4 New Mexico State
8 St. Bonnie
9 Loyola
12 Grambling
10 Stony Brook
6 Delaware State
This should be all Brown, but that 8/9 matchup could be a great one and give Brown problems in the next round.
