Valpo:

 

28-5, winners of the Horizon League

 

Lost to Missouri, New Mexico, Oakland, Green Bay, Detroit.

[BSLChrisStoner]

If MD wins, will face the winner of West Virginia / Buffalo.

[Chris B]

I'm still shocked they are a 4.

[Mike in STL]

In all honesty, I'd rather have the winner of WVU/Buffalo, than Butler or Texas.

Screw it. I want Kentucky. Bring it on!!!!

[McNulty]

One of my bosses went to Valpo.  I believe a bet is in order.

The selection committee hates us for some reason.

I love this match up. An easy path to the S16, IMO. Hope we can at least scare Kentucky a little.

[KWebz]

So when do we make brackets?

[Hooded Viper]

WTF I thought MD had a 3 locked up? What time is the game

[BSLMikeLowe]

What a brutal draw.

 

Lone bright spot: They open with Fri/Sun games, which leaves Thu/Sat open to head over to the Rose Garden and see some interesting matchups in person (namely that VCU-OSU game).

Terps could face Bobby Hurley in the second round!

3rd round bruh... 3rd round.

Just messing with you. I find it annoying that they call the stupid play ins round 1 now. Oh well.

I'm pretty sure they announced they're changing it back to what it should be for next year.

Ahhh..you're right. 

 

and yes, it's annoying.

Told you guys that MD dropping to a 4 was very possible.

No way GTown should be seeded as high as MD.

Valpo is 63 on Kenpom and are 31st in defensive efficiency.

They blew out Murray St.

Famous last words. There is little doubt in my mind this will be a tight game with 5 min left. If MD has it under control I'll be surprised. I dont even need to know much about Valpo to believe that.

Lol... well you may not be wrong. I do think MD should beat Valpo 9 out of 10 times... but 6 or 7 of those would still be very close games in true MD fashion.

[SportsGuy]

A lot of people think Buffalo will beat WV.

If they don't and MD wins, WV will be a tough game for MD.

They have played in a better conference, won better games and have a higher Kenpom rating.

Should be a good game if it happens.

[Mackus]

I like the Valpo matchup, but agree that it's likely a close game with 5 to play that we win down the stretch. WVU scares me a bit. Kentucky will be a huge long shot, but it would be a great win if we can somehow pull it off
