The Racers are a No. 7 seed now, so it's hard to call them a true bracket buster. Upsets in the NCAA Tournament are never easy to predict. Does that sound like a coach of the year? Gonzaga and Arizona have the best odds to win March Madness in 2022, according to the Sports Interaction sportsbook. Which was the best? The Jackrabbits didn't lose a game in Summit League play and ranked second in the nation with 86.7 points per game. Here are our experts' picks to reach the 2022 Final Four with links to their full bracket analysis. Any team that wins 30 games must be taken seriously in the tournament, and the Racers have three big-time scorers in K.J. Williams (18.2 ppg.), Tevin Brown (16.9 ppg.) and Justice Hill (13.2 ppg.) Williams is a 6-10, 245-pound forward who averages 8.6 rebounds. South Region: No. 3 Tennessee was under-seeded by the committee. You can get a printable NCAA Tournament bracket here to fill out before and during tournament play.

The 2022 NCAA Tournament is finally upon us.
From Gonzaga to Wright State, here's your look at every team appearing in the 2022 men's NCAA tournament field.
In its first year as a member of the Southland Conference (2006-07), following seven years as an independent, the Islanders won the league tournament to make their first NCAA tournament appearance. Richmond earned the league's automatic bid with a 64-62 win against the Wildcats, and the NCAA tournament gains one of the best stories in the sport. A fight in the stands became the storyline attached to Bryant's 70-43 defeat of Wagner in the Northeast Conference tournament title game. This is the most complicated, and possibly controversial, team in the NCAA tournament. With E.J. Anosike (16.5 PPG, 8.3 RPG) on the floor this season, the Titans have held their opponents to just 91 points per 100 possessions, per hooplens.com. The Titans made 76.4% of their free throws this season, a top-50 mark in college basketball. Picked to finish eighth in the ACC's preseason poll, Brey's squad ended up in a tie for second place with North Carolina. Yes, the ACC was down this season, but the Fighting Irish were second in defensive efficiency in league play and connected on nearly 40% of their 3-point attempts against ACC opponents. The Wildcats also finished in the bottom half in defensive efficiency in league play -- but Foster Loyer (16.5 PPG entering Sunday's A-10 tournament final), Hyunjung Lee (16.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG) and 6-foot-10 center Luka Brajkovic (14.3 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 1.2 BPG, 43% from 3) are capable of leading this team to a few upsets in the NCAA tournament. The Trojans did a lot of their work in the paint. His brother, Isaiah Mobley (14.3 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 35.3% from 3), led a team that finished with a 14-6 record in the Pac-12 and anchored its résumé with wins over San Diego State and UCLA. But the Spartans struggled in the final weeks of the season, ending with a 6-9 record in their last 15 Big Ten games following a 5-0 start in league play. They have been the most dominant team in America. They have NBA talent and the most balanced program in the country. The Wildcats have enjoyed a top-15 status in adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency on KenPom throughout the season, a sign of their balance and consistency.

This is a program that has been in this spotlight before, with close losses to the likes of Baylor, Maryland and Ohio State in the first round of the Big Dance in the last decade. The main knock on Davidson would be a lack of overall athleticism (especially compared to teams such as MSU and potential second-round matchup Duke), but the Wildcats do have excellent positional size. The biggest question is whether they can get enough stops—this isn’t an overly athletic team and it’s struggled to defend high-major competition this season, giving up 104 points to Alabama and 87 points to Washington. That might not be quite as big a concern against a Providence team that isn’t that explosive on the offensive end, and advanced metrics have suggested the Friars have overachieved for most of the season. This team isn’t a flashy one—it’ll look to control tempo in its first-round matchup against Illinois and rely on its defense in the half court. This might be the best Davidson team Bob McKillop has had since Stephen Curry was introducing the country to the small private school in North Carolina. This team doesn’t have a future NBA star like Curry, but it does share his penchant for drilling threes in bunches. The Jackrabbits rank in the top 15 in KenPom’s offensive efficiency metric, topping the nation in both three-point field goal percentage (a ridiculous 44.2% from deep) and effective field goal percentage (topping Gonzaga and Purdue at 59.7%). They take care of the ball, are loaded with shooters and have several weapons that can beat you. And if the Hoosiers can get past a potential matchup with UCLA in the second round, No. 1 seed Baylor feels vulnerable due to injuries. If they get past the Dons, can they topple an elite team in Kentucky in the second round and make the Sweet 16? But the Aztecs have been better on that end of the floor lately, and the presence of elite isolation scorer Matt Bradley gives this group a guy who can create shots for himself when the offense bogs down. That’s a pretty compelling case alone for why Murray State can make a run in March Madness, but let’s dive into why the Racers have been so good in 2021–22. Offensively, Matt McMahon runs terrific sets that are difficult to prepare for and even harder to play against, running elite shooting wing Tevin Brown off an array of staggers and pindowns to get him open shots. The Aztecs are long, athletic and extremely well coached on that end of the floor, and they do a tremendous job of imposing their style of play on opposing teams. But it’s not just Roddy that makes this team special—point guard Isaiah Stevens is one of the nation’s best floor generals and put up 17 points and 11 assists without a turnover in an early-season win over Creighton.
