We’ve been filling out a lot of NCAA hoops brackets over the past couple days (all on our off-hours, honest!) and it got us to pondering who the 1-seed coming out of the Central Division is, especially with every team — including, somehow, the Stars — getting past the 28-game halfway mark either last week or this week. We’re officially closer to the playoffs than to the start of the 2020-21 season now.
Yes, we’re all about the misery, but what’s more miserable than missing out on the top seed in a region? And the Central region has three main contenders, each with a claim on the top.
