No. 3 Butler vs. No. 14 Fort Wayne

The Butler Bulldogs are currently on a roll as they are 11-1 and the 13th ranked team in the country. These guys already have two solid resume-building wins over #22 Cincinnati and #9 Indiana, which gives me every reason to believe that they deserved this 3rd seed in the projected NCAA Tournament.

On the other side, don’t forget that it was this Fort Wayne team that upset Indiana as well a few weeks ago. The Mastadons stunned the college basketball world and probably clinched the biggest upset won of 2016.

With that being said, I don’t think Fort Wayne would be able to knock off Butler in March. The Bulldogs are too well-coached and experienced to fall to a mid-major program in the NCAA Tournament.

Next: No. 7 vs. No. 10
