COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri has become a popular pick in March Madness brackets, but in unfortunate fashion. The Tigers are a trendy upset pick around the college basketball world.
ESPN’s “The People’s Bracket” shows that 40% of the bracket filled out on its site have No. 11 seed Drake upsetting No. 6 seed Mizzou in Thursday’s 6:35 p.m. NCAA Tournament game in Wichita, Kansas. That’s the most upset picks of any of the 6-11 matchups, though two of those are dependent on First Four games to lock in the 6 seeds’ opponents.
And Drake is a difficult team to make sense of.
