Northeastern is rated 76 OVR. They went 19-13 this year, 12-6 in the CAA. They average 66 points/game and shoot 42% from the field. They likely had to win their conference tournament to get in.

We actually played them in a simmed game earlier this season and only won by 2 points at home.

Northeastern has a PF rated 81 OVR who leads them with 13 points/game. Their next highest rated player is 74 OVR, and they start two sophs and a freshman. We ought to crush them.


If we do beat Northeastern, we are looking at either 12 seed Illinois Chicago, a team rated 81 OVR out of the horizon league(23-7), or 5 seed BYU(27-6) out of the Mountain West. BYU is rated 89 OVR and appears to have one of the highest rated rebounding teams in the country. BYU has a very strong starting 5 with an 86 rated PG and two other starters rated over 80. BYU has the #15 RPI and looks solid. Clearly, we root for Illinois Chicago.
