The NCAA men's basketball tournament kicked off with notable surprises, including 11th-seeded Drake upsetting sixth-seeded Missouri while the SEC showcased its strength with Auburn and other teams advancing. Over the years, only twice has a No. 16 seed defeated a No. 1 seed. Houston's coach Sampson advocated for inclusion of lesser-known conferences despite the disadvantages they face. The SEC sent a record amount of teams to the tournament while Missouri's loss under coach Ben McCollum's leadership highlighted the unpredictability of March Madness.
"The people that sit in these back rooms and try to make decisions on kids' experiences, some of those people forgot where they came from."
"Most of these low mid-major conferences are one-bid leagues and you never know if you can catch lightning in a bottle."
