Mizzou’s company here is pretty solid:
- Virginia Tech was an 8-seed in the NCAAs last year, and Buzz Williams has built them into a perennial tournament team after taking over a disaster five years ago. The Hokies have three graduating players, but they have five juniors, so stashing a transfer or two would make a lot of sense.
- Xavier earned a 1-seed, then lost their coach to Louisville, turning to associate head coach Travis Steele.
