2026 NCAA Tourney Bracket Watch - The Athletic

[gopher watcher]

I know preseason rankings mean little, but Joe Rexrode of The Athletic came out with his 2026 Preseason March Madness Tourney Bracket: It has Saint Thomas as the 14th seed in the Midwest bracket, opening vs. UCLA in Chicago. He predicts 12 Big Ten tourney bids - Minnesota doesn't make his preseason brackets. Saint Thomas could be our market's Loyola.
