Shockers In – Panthers Get Texas – Governors Take On Kansas
(St. Louis, MO) – Wichita State is going dancing! Northern Iowa has a tough road going forward and Cinderella (Austin Peay) needs more miracles to move on.
The Shockers (24-8) were the most talked about ‘bubble team’ in the country will take on Vanderbilt (19-13) and former Illinois State coach Kevin Stallings in a ‘first four’ game in Dayton. If the Shockers win they head to Providence to play six seeded Arizona (25-8).
Northern Iowa (22-12) is saddled with an 11 seed and a first round match up with # 6 Texas (20-12). The Longhorns lost two of their last three games. Like the Panthers, Texas was fourth in the Big 12.
Austin Peay (18-17)isn’t in a first four game, but they have a tall order taking on Kansas. The Jayhawks (30-4) are the number one overall seed, which theoretically makes the Governors the 68th seed. Perfect. Austin Peay, who has won six straight, has Kansas right where they want them!
