Group 17
#17 Wichita State (Missouri Valley, 30-4, 17-1)
Tennessee (SEC, 16-16, 7-11)
UAB (Conference USA, 20-16, 12-6)
USC Upstate (Atlantic Sun, 24-12, 8-6)
Pacific (WCC, 12-19, 4-14)
Binghamton (America East, 6-26, 5-11)
Of course I like my Shockers to win the group, although they could get tested. Don't sleep on USC Upstate, they could throw a kink into plans. So Wichita St. winning the group, and I think UAB will finish 2nd. I can see a wildcard coming out of this group.
Group 18
#18 Oklahoma (Big 12, 24-10, 12-6)
Albany (America East, 24-9, 15-1)
Oregon State (Pac 12, 17-14, 8-10)
Charlotte (Conference USA, 14-18, 7-11)
Drexel (Colonial, 11-19, 9-9)
Alabama A&M (SWAC, 9-20, 8-10)
I think Albany has the potential to give Oklahoma a run in this group. Albany is a solid team and I think Oklahoma was way overseeded as a 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. That being said, I still like Oklahoma to win the group, but I can see it coming down to the last game. Albany should take 2nd, and Oregon St. has an outside shot at competing for a wildcard berth.
