"Under coach Kenny Blakeney, the Bison have made the tournament three times in the past four seasons; prior to his arrival, their last NCAA appearance was in 1992. Do-it-all junior wing Cedric Taylor III averages 17.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game- making him the only Division I men's player to average 17+ ppg, 6+ rpg, 3+ apg, 1+ spg and 1+ bpg."
"The Retrievers have won 12 straight games and are connecting on 38 percent of their three-point shots-a very important number for underdog teams! In 2018, UMBC scored the first victory by a No. 16 seed over a No. 1 seed in NCAA tournament history by defeating Virginia."
"Howard's men's and women's teams have made the NCAA tournament in the same season for the first time in school history."
