WR Efton Chism was tasked with watching a cut up of some Danny Amendola routes a couple days ago by Josh McDaniels.
These routes are straight from the Amendola/Edelman tree. In a packed receiving room, let's see if Chism can separate himself over the preseason, and make the cut.
Ohio State transfer Devin Royal is on Villanova’s campus today (per @RyanScanlon19).
The 6’ 6” forward averaged 13.7 PPG, 5.7 RPG and 1.6 APG last season for OSU.
The teams Michigan has lost to in the National Championship have to be the strongest group of programs any team has faced:
UCLA (1965)
Indiana (1976)
Duke (1992)
North Carolina (1993)
Louisville (2013)*
Villanova (2018)
The past 21 National Champions have been in the Week 6 AP Poll Top 12.
Here’s who’s still alive:
1 Arizona ✅
2 Michigan
3 Duke
4 Iowa State
5 UCONN
6 Purdue ✅
7 Houston ❌
8 Gonzaga ❌
9 Michigan State
10 BYU ❌
11 Louisville ❌
12 Alabama
March Madness rivalry games still on the board:
- Iowa vs Nebraska (Sweet 16) ✅
- UCONN vs St John’s (Elite 8)
- Arkansas vs Texas (Elite 8)
- Iowa/Nebraska vs Illinois (Elite 8)
- Tennessee vs Bama (Elite 8)
- Michigan vs MSU (Championship)
- Iowa vs Iowa State (Championship)
Cinderella, where are you?
This will be the first time EVER that teams seeded No. 1-4 have avoided upsets in back-to-back tournaments (since the bracket expanded in 1985).
The last time we saw major chaos was 2024 (14 Oakland & 13 Yale).
Before March Madness 2025, here are the years where all seeds No. 1-4 advanced without an opening round upset:
'17, '07, '04, '00, '94.
Could be back-to-back tournaments without a No. 1-4 seed going down (unless 16 PVAM, 15 Furman, or 13 Cal Baptist can keep the streak alive).
NO BIG UPSETS: Since March Madness expanded to 64 teams in 1985, there have NEVER been back-to-back years in which all No. 1–4 seeds avoided upsets.
If 1 Florida, 2 UConn, and 4 Kansas win, this will mark the second straight tournament without a top-four seed going down.
