Be great to see this keep going. Fun team, and they’ve beaten everyone except Tulsa.
Edited (Due to weather concerns, the bracket was changed and the Cougars will start Wednesday now)
Coogs are 80th in RPI so they basically have to win the tourney to proceed beyond this week.
Interesting bracket set up.
